Abstract
The general principles of fire safety are reviewed and these are related specifically to libraries. The major elements of fire safety (people, buildings and fire) are examined and the specific components of these are discussed as they affect, and are affected by, library use and design. The contents of libraries in relation to fire protection are considered.
