Risk Reduction
After reviewing the NFPA Case Study, write a 4–5-page paper (excluding cover and reference pages) that analyzes fire and EMS department roles in community risk reduction.
Using the United States Fire Administration Library, the Library, or another library/database as a resource, describe the historical events of a nightclub fire that occurred in the past 100 years other than “The Station” fire and how they influenced contemporary fire culture and public community cultures. For this assignment you will focus on the "Supper Club Fire".
Focus specifically on the impact your chosen fires have had on society’s perception of risk and the changes that resulted. As reference, refer to the Haddon Matrix in your textbook.
Finally, include a paragraph that records the methods used to discover the sources cited in the paper. Discuss the quality of the search results. Explain the strategies used to refine the search and choose your sources for this paper.
