Did the building’s construction type, floor plan, and size affect the incident?

Many provisions of
model fire and building code were created or improved because of a catastrophic
or tragic loss due to fire, explosion, natural disaster, or manufacturing
defect. For your final project, you will choose a large loss
fire from the list below and prepare a research paper that identifies
an improvement in the body of knowledge for the fire service or fire
protection industry regarding the overarching concept of Fire Dynamics that
resulted from the incident.
1. Choose an
Incident:
Our Lady of Angels School Fire
Your research
will surround this event, so it is essential to choose an event that
interests you the most.
2. Research
the Incident: Identify
critical issues and points to support your paper. References should use the
information addressing the same issues (findings) in the chosen fire
incident (e.g., wind-driven fire; egress doors swinging inward, wall
coverings, etc.).
Consider the following
during your research:
Fire Dynamics of the incident.
Common substances involved and
how they related to combustion and flame spread.
The impact of flammable and
combustible substances and how they related to combustion and
oxidation.
Any Substances used to ignite
and accelerate the fire and how they affected the chemical
reaction.
Did the
building’s construction type, floor plan, and size affect the
incident?
Fire growth curve of the
incident.
Laws of energy and matter.
3. Write your
assignment: Your submitted
paper should include a title page, a minimum of 3 pages of content (double
spaced and written in Times New Roman 12 point font), and a reference page. You
should also include In-text citations following APA guidelines for academic
writing.
Your presentation
shall explain the following:
Introduction with Problem
Statement
Overview of Incident
Investigation Report
Findings
Recommendations
Conclusion
References
