Chemical facts taught in firefighting training courses are often
"isolated facts." In the book, these facts are integrated into an
overall chemical-physical concept. Backgrounds are illuminated, and
connections can be recognized. The overall understanding is facilitated,
tactical measures for the operation become "logical".
This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition
Das Chemiewissen für die Feuerwehr by Torsten Schmiermund, published
by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The
translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine
translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was
done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read
stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer
Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the
production of books and on the related technologies to support the
authors.
