Abstract
Historical Note: On January 20, 1943, Henry A. Fiske wrote in his copy of this first Fire Protection Handbook: "This is the First Edition of what later became the Crosby-Fiske Handbook (Second to Seventh Editions) and finally the Crosby-Fiske-Forster Handbook, now published by the N.F.P.A. Many of the drawings in this book, also lettering, are freehand by Henry A. Fiske and Ed P. Boone, both Inspectors with the U.B.N.E. at that time."
