Lynne Murnane is a Stillwater resident and has worked at Fire Protection Publications for the past 25 years as a Senior Editor. She also is a graduate of George Washington University.

Building Construction Related to the Fire Service provides the reader with basic instruction about how buildings are designed and constructed and how this relates to emergency operations. In addition to basic construction principles, a new emphasis is placed on firefighter safety, newer types of construction that may be difficult to identify, and green construction principles. This edition is illustrated with new drawings and photos, case histories that emphasize real-life safety principles, key terms, and review questions. Fire inspectors, preincident planners, fireground commanders, investigators, and firefighters will all find useful and valuable information in this new edition.

Structural Fire Fighting: High-Rise Fire Fighting, Second Edition is designed to be a companion to IFSTA's other structural fire fighting manuals: Truck Company Skills and Tactics, Second Edition and Initial Response Strategy and Tactics, First Edition. This manual provides an overview of historical high-rise fires, construction features, fire behavior, water supply, fire protection systems, elevators and escalators, evacuation procedures, preincident planning, incident command, strategy and tactics, and special situations. Topics such as hazardous exposures, wind-driven fires, staging and communications, and working with fire protection systems are given special emphasis.
