IFSTA's "Fire and Emergency Services Safety Officer", Second Edition meets the job performance requirements of NFPA^® 1521, Standard for Fire Department Safety Officer Qualifications (2015). The new standard has been updated to include job performance requirements. The second edition provides the reader with everything he or she needs to meet those requirements for both health safety officers (HSOs) and incident safety officers (ISOs). The manual is divided according to discipline: chapters 1-12 are for HSOs, chapters 13-16 for ISOs. Chapters 1-16 all include learning activities designed to guide the reader through a practice exercise covering that chapter's content. Each chapter also opens with a case history that illustrates a real world example of that chapter's information in application. Finally, most chapters include end notes that guide the reader toward research that was used to develop portions of each chapter.

The purpose of "Fire Protection, Detection and Suppression Systems," Fifth Edition is to familiarize fire service members and other interested personnel with the components, design, maintenance, operation, testing, and inspection of common fire protection, detection, and suppression systems. This manual is not intended to substitute for training as a fire inspector or for personnel who design, maintain, and inspect such systems; however, it can serve as a valuable resource for personnel engaged in these activities. The audience for this manual includes: college students, fire service personnel, industrial fire protection personnel, building construction personnel and all others seeking information on fire protection, detection and suppression systems. The scope of this manual is to provide up-to-date information on fire protection, detection, and suppression systems. The manual is written based upon the current course objectives, outcomes, and outline for the associate's level course Fire Protection Systems as described in the Fire and Emergency Services for Higher Education (FESHE) core curriculum

"Plans Examiner for Fire and Emergency Services," Second Edition is for fire department staff and others who review plans for compliance with fire and building codes to ensure public safety in the built environment. Content in this book is appropriate for any plan examiners in fire prevention divisions, fire marshal bureaus, building departments and community risk reduction organizations. The 15 chapters in this book present material that meets the job performance requirements (JPRs) of Plan Examiner I and II according to the NFPA 1031: Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner (2014).
