Course Descriptions

(1) Fire Behavior and Combustion

This course explores the theories and fundamentals of how and why fire starts, spreads, and is controlled. Following an overview of chemistry and physics of fire, the students are taught in basics of heat transfer, combustion processes, and fire extinguishment chemistry, common fire extinguishing agents, fire characteristics of gaseous, liquid and solid combustibles.  

(2) Hazardous Materials Chemistry

This course deals with basic chemistry relating to the categories of hazardous materials including recognition, identification, reactivity, and health hazards. Students are taught in MSDS, NFPA system of identifying potential hazards, and impact of heat on human body. 

(3) Life Safety Principles

The course introduces the fundamentals of Life Safety in buildings. This course addresses the basic measurements shall be considered such as construction, occupancy specifications & protection elements necessary to reduce & mitigate the danger to lives from the effect of fire & combustion products like smoke, heat & extremely toxic gases. The course enhances the understanding of how to perform means of egress prediction & calculation & required ITM program to be carried to ensure safety of lives & buildings.

(4) Building Construction for Fire Protection

This course provides the components of building construction related to firefighter and life safety. The elements of construction and design of structures are shown to be key factors when inspecting buildings, preplanning fire operations, and operating at emergencies.

(5) Fire Alarm Signaling System

This course enables students to acquire knowledge and hands-on experience in modern fire alarm technology, such as fire signatures, emergency communication systems, fire alarm components and circuits, fire alarm signal initiation, fire alarm transmission and processing methods, fire detection system design. Students learn to prepare fire alarm signaling system engineering documents and plan review.   

(6) Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply Analysis

The course provides understanding of use of water in fire protection, and the hydraulic principles in analyzing and solving problems which may occur in water supply systems. Topics include water supply systems, industrial fire pumps and their installation, fire pump testing and maintenance, calculations for automatic sprinkler systems.

(7) Fire Protection Systems I

This first course of a two-part fire protection systems course will familiarize the students with the various types of fire protection systems found in public and private buildings. Students get an overview of fire detection and suppression systems and are taught in components of the systems comprising detection and alarm systems, smoke management systems, the water supply systems complete with fire pumps. 

(8) Fire Protection Systems II

This second course of a two-part fire protection systems course will familiarize the students with the various types of fire protection systems found in public and private buildings. Students are taught in various fire suppression systems such as automatic sprinkler systems, special extinguishing systems, and portable fire extinguishers.
