Discussion 1: Fire Code Violations
Fire code violations have increased in your area over the past two years. Local business owners are complaining to city officials about the fines and costs to mitigate the code violations. The chief has asked you to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of fire code compliance. This analysis should provide an overview of non-enforcement versus enforcement of the fire code.
Try to research the number of commercial fires that occur within your jurisdiction, and determine if the fires could have been prevented if fire codes were enforced.
Discussion 2: Community Outreach PowerPoint Presentation
Using the same scenario above, prepare a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation (based on your checklist) for the community outreach program. Your presentation should highlight the common code violations and include suggestions to mitigate them. You are encouraged to use pictures to illustrate your points. Note: You will submit your PowerPoint presentation in the Unit VI PowerPoint Presentation link.
You are required to use at least one source for this presentation. This can be your textbook or any other scholarly source. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. The title and reference slides do not count toward the slide-count requirement.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
