Handbook of Fire and the Environment: Impacts and Mitigation

 The  fundamental purpose of this handbook is to raise awareness about  environmental impacts of fire and fire suppression, primarily within the  fire engineering and firefighting communities, but also within the  environmental engineering and planning disciplines. The Handbook  provides readers with a fundamental understanding of the problem and its  magnitude and includes a set of tools and methods for assessing  environmental, social and financial impacts, and a set of tools for  identifying and selecting appropriate mitigation options.
