This course explores human behavior as it relates to fire and mass casualties, while also addressing a historical review of human behavior in fire, building design, fire department operations, and evacuation procedures involving specific groups, such as large populations and persons with disabilities. Students will also examine current and past research on human behavior, life safety education, and building design to determine interaction of these areas in emergency situations.
