    Fire Safe Building Rehabilitation is a new book available from the NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) A fire
    protection engineer and a preservation architect have collaborated to
compile basic information on issues associated
    with protecting our built heritage from fire. The book takes the reader
from basic conservation concepts through the technical aspects of current
fire safety practice. It bridges the gap between the societal goals of
historic preservation and safety
    from fire and emphasizes their mutual intersection. Although focus is on
the situation in the US (where "old" is > 50 years),
    the problems are universal and the technical solutions are germane
throughout the world. More information is available at
