Discussion: Fire Prevention And Code Enforcement
Unit V Scholarly Activity
Fire code violations have increased in your area over the past 2 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.
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.
