The document is a study guide covering fire protection and arson investigation in 5 parts. Part I defines fire and discusses the fire triangle and properties of flames. Part II covers fire elements such as fuels and their classification. Part III examines heat elements including temperature scales and heat transfer. Part IV analyzes fire behavior, causes, classification by cause or fuel, and firefighting. Part V outlines the basic investigation of fires, including roles and legal aspects such as defining arson and lines of inquiry. Supplemental information lists a fire technology book and related image sources.
