Instructions
In
this unit, we explored how different types of construction projects create
unique challenges and safety concerns for firefighters and fire operations and
how codes and regulations play a role in firefighting operations. For this
assignment, you will apply these concepts to write an essay focusing
specifically on buildings under renovation and buildings under demolition.
Begin
your essay with a brief introduction. Your thesis should establish your opinion
regarding why these two types of construction projects present unique hazards.
Next,
in a well-organized discussion with strong evidence of critical thinking, you
must accomplish the tasks listed below.
§ Discuss
the construction process that occurs in each project type (buildings under
construction and buildings under demolition).
§ Briefly
explain the difference between fire code, building code, and construction
standards regulation.
§ Summarize
two codes (fire or building) for each project that you feel most directly
impact fire resistance and firefighting efforts.
§ Determine
the safety concerns unique to each project type. This should include
firefighter safety as well as safety concerns that might affect firefighting
strategy and operations.
Finally,
you must locate and identify two incidents involving a fire—one for a building
under renovation and one under demolition, whose outcome directly led to a
change in either fire code, building code, or construction standards. Briefly
summarize each incident, and explain why the change in code was enacted.
Your
essay must be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title and
reference pages. You must use at least two reliable sources other than your
eTextbook to support your essay. All sources used must be properly cited and
referenced in APA Style.
