You might also check jr colleges that have fire science programs and see if the book store has used ones

RE: NFPA Fire Protection Handbook

I tried to log in with the instructions in the PDF file, but it said the website was unavailable. Is there another website were I can go to download all the codes and handbooks?!

Some people are too cheap to cough up the $240 to purchase the books, gain some knowledge, and support their industry...kinda ballsy to outright ask for copyrighted information and give out their email.

RE: NFPA Fire Protection Handbook

You guys made me waste Perfectly good coffee. There are only a few small locations left with it on my screen.
No I didn't pay for it, but it was good none the less.

RE: NFPA Fire Protection Handbook

I have found that in other cultures, outside of the US, it is very common to distribute resources like the OP asked. Perhaps he is located outside the US where this kind of thing is common. I don't think it is correct by any means and we should all encourage them to actually pay for the requested information.

PS - I have to save Scott's PDF to use anytime this stuff comes up. That was so funny. I had to look at it again today just for a good laugh.

RE: NFPA Fire Protection Handbook

Davidson84,

While there can be an argument for the free distribution of legally adopted texts, the fire protection handbook isn't adopted by any level of US government that I know if, it's not really a standard or code as much as a creative work.

However if you need legal texts consisting of rules to follow to properly install life safety systems, don't hesitate to try and get them for free especially if you can't afford them. In the United States at least, every one has a right to know the laws they have to follow free of charge. Designers/contractors don't benefit at all by the NFPA, FM Global, or any other agency releasing lengthier standards and codes (although I think it's a great thing), insurance companies benefit and can lower their costs, sprinkler systems get cheaper, and who ultimately benefits is the owners who build and occupy buildings (lower insurance/construction costs). Why in the world insurance companies don't use their own funds to insure better protected buildings and why in the world local, state, and federal authorities don't use their own funds (coming evenly from every taxpayer rather than a select few) to fuel higher life safety standards is beyond me. Why it's left to the installing/designing contractors and technicians to pay for the advancement of enforcing new fire studies and research data is beyond me.

But paying for handbooks to make our job easier by implementing the archaic standards is completely rational, so I urge you to pay for handbooks like the one you mention here.
