Creating fire is easy, yet understanding and learning to live with this friend and foe has never been easy; stopping fire is a dangerous -- and often deadly -- pursuit. Drawing on his experiences as an environmental historian, firefighter and life safety educator, author Einar Jensen presents an eye-opening look at fire and our history of dealing with it, then gives us the tools for being responsible and prepared— parents and teachers, as communities and fire service professionals, and as homeowners in the wildland urban interface. “If we don’t change our understanding of fire, our rules of engagement, or our cultural values, we should expect more tragedies and be willing to pay for them in ever-increasing volumes of dollars, blood, sweat and tears. I’m committed to preventing these tragedies, and I hope to bring more members into my prevention cadre.” — Einar Jensen Contents 1 - Fire, Our Friend and Foe 2 - Fundamentals of Fire Science 3 - Youth &amp; Firesetting: Playing with Fire Can Burn Us 4 - Fire’s Dark Side: A Tool of Pain &amp; Destruction 5 - Fire’s Positive Side: A Tool of Creation 6 - Rules of Fire, Rites of Fire 7 - Sacred Fire 8 - Risk Perception and Fire 9 - Harmony with Fire 10 - Will We Keep Burning?

After several years responding to emergencies, Life Safety Officer Cooper Brannstad has dedicated his life to preventing fires and injuries. Yet caring for others is far easier than caring for himself. Personal tragedies have left a dark legacy on the middle-aged life safety officer. Cooper puts others before himself, struggling with his own demons and code of ethics while enforcing the fire code and empowering audiences to reduce their risk and protect firefighters. Code Violations is a story of reflection and redemption as one man seeks to save himself while he saves others, discovering a healthier path out of his dark past and self-destructive decisions.
