Fire & Expolsion Investigation - Study books
« on: September 13, 2011, 07:57:50 PM »
Hi all

Does anyone have any recommendations on textbooks for an introduction to fire and explosion investigation?

Perhaps one that taught me to spell "explosions" properly - oops.   ;D

Kirks Fire Investigation, John DeHaan ISBN 0132830019

Is a good start

Or IFE Fire Investigation, Cook and Ide

http://www.cfitrainer.net/ is an excellent website .......VERY American though.

Also try NFPA 921 and "Engineering Analysis of Fires & Explosions" by Randall Noon.

Several more good books; depending on how technical you want to get but these and the ones above should get you started.
