The detailed information about different types of smoke and heat detectors and automatic sprinkler systems will help livestock building owners and others determine the fire control technology that is most suited to their facilities. The fire suppression section also contains useful advice on how to make it easier for firefighters to combat fires in livestock buildings. The final sections of the bulletin describe installations which the authors have developed for horse, dairy, swine, and poultry buildings and suggest sources of additional information. The discussion of the demonstration installations is particularly helpful because it includes estimates of the cost of installation and maintenance of early warning and automatic sprinkler systems. In addition to owners of livestock buildings, Fire Control in Livestock Buildings may be of use to rural insurance agents, agricultural builders and consultants, bankers and loan officers, and extension agents in livestock production areas.
