It provides a comprehensive review of the provisions of the 2009 International Fire Code, including study sessions on general precautions against fire, fire service features, and fire protection systems. Other topics include flammable and combustible liquids, special occupanices, and hazardous materials.
This study guide includes 18 study sessions that provide practical learning assignments. All study sessions contain specific learning objectives, applicable code text and commentary, and a list of questions summarizing key points for study. At the end of each study session, a 33-question quiz is provided to enable you to test your knowledge of the material. The study guide also includes an answer key, which provides the correct response and reference for each of the 594 total questions.
From the Introduction
This study companion provides practical learning assignments for independent study of the provisions of the 2009 International Fire Code (IFC). The independent study format affords a method for the student to complete the study program in an unregulated time period. Progressing through the workbook, the learner can measure his or her level of knowledge by using the exercises and quizzes provided for each study session.
The workbook is also valuable for instructor-led programs. In jurisdictional training sessions, community college classes, vocational training programs and other structured educational offerings, the study guide and the IFC can be the basis for code instruction.
All study sessions begin with a general learning objective, the specific sections or chapters of the code under consideration, and a list of questions summarizing the key points of study. Each session addresses selected topics from the IFC and includes code text, a commentary on the code provisions, and illustrations representing the provisions under discussion. Quizzes are provided at the end of each, study session. Before beginning the quizzes, the student should thoroughly review the referenced IFC provisions - particularly the key points.
The workbook is structured so that after every question the student has an opportunity to record his or her response and the corresponding code reference. The correct answers are located in the back of the workbook in the answer key.
This study companion was developed by Scott Stookey, Senior Technical Staff with the International Code Council. Scott is a Fire Protection Engineer and a graduate of the Fire Protection and Safety Engineering Technology Program at Oklahoma State University. He has over 20 years of emergency response and fire code enforcement experience, and has published 14 articles on various subjects, including alternative fuels, aboveground storage tanks for flammable and combustible liquids, dust deflagrations, fire protection designs using early suppression-fast response sprinklers, and hazardous materials packaging.
