What Customers Say About Branningan's Building Construction for the Fire Service:

AMAZON. Most, if not all these reviews are for the earlier editions of the book. Please compare the publishing date of this edtion to the dates of the reviews. Please sort these reviews into the correct editions. I found the book very informative, fact-filled and easy to read.

Building Services Handbook, Fourth Edition: Incorporating Current Building & Construction Regulations (Building Services Handbook) (Building Services Handbook) This book is a great resource to enhance the knowledge and concepts being taught in the text book.

He was the very first and the best at putting the emphasis on structural safety for fire fighters and the general public. The late Francis L. Brannigan was truly the "Dean" of the American Fire Service modern era. Francis was the first and foremost outspoken fire service professional at speaking out against lowering building construction standards and pointing out what's killing fire fighters and occupants in substandard building construction. This is a must read for all of those in the fire service, builing code officials and those in the building trades.

I was lucky enough over the years to have attended classes taught by Mr Brannigan. That was Mr Brannigans motivation the whole time when he wrote this book, not to make money, but to save lives. Yes, it is all over the place. But I can tell you this, this book has saved my life more than once. He was a great man and will truly be missed by many. If you are in the fire service, this should be one of the books you own.

The book currently stands at 667 pages. Mr. It would be 1/3 of that length if it weren't for the numerous opinions, hearsay and accumulated ramblings of this arm chair quarterback who has apparently done more fire buffing than fire fighting. Brannigan, whether senile or just incompetent, fails to write his book in any logical order. He is all over the place when presenting the few facts he is actually correct about. Studying for a promotional or just increasing your knowledge base. Stick with IFSTA's Bld Contstruction and study guide or Vinnie Dunn's "Collapse of Burning Buildings."
