Do you know the top causes of fire in historic buildings? The three key steps for preventing them? The new detection and suppression technologies you can put to use right now? Fire Safety and Historic Buildings, a 2008 Preservation Book, shows owners and stewards of historic buildings how to protect their most fundamental asset. Checklists, charts, and definitions will help them to better communicate and collaborate with building code inspectors, contractors, engineers, and other professionals to successfully balance fire safety and preservation concerns.
