Accompanying Citations Following Proper Fire Prot

Questions 1

Instructions

Have you ever had a surge protector short out or even catch
fire? Is it critical that fire protection systems have surge protection on all
electrical fire protection equipment and appliances? Is surge protection real
or just an illusion? Why do you think that?

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references
or citations are necessary.

Question 2

Instructions

Part 7: Scenario-Based
Case Study

For this assignment,
you will submit Part 7 of the scenario-based case study course project, which
is due in Unit VIII. You should evaluate and revise the recommendations, as
needed, during the process for each previous unit as you learn more during the
progression of this course. Please continue to draw upon your imagination to
think creatively on potential concerns with fire and explosive hazards, fire
controls, and fire and emergency management. Look at fire protection technology
in a holistic way that is significantly different from what was previously
designed by thinking in isolation. You will evaluate and develop
recommendations to resolve potential fires in the future.

Section I

As you make
suggestions to improve the fire protection system, identify the components and
accessories common to fire pump installations needed for the rebuild of the
warehouse. Refer back to the background information, if needed, to provide you
with the necessary material to identify the basic components common to fire
protection for the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse. In addition,
review the Points to Ponder Scenario in the Unit VII Lesson for additional
information as well as Chapter 6 in the textbook.

This assignment is not
looking for compliance with building codes nor expecting you to be a fire
protection system designer. However, the purpose of this assignment is for you
to apply the concepts and knowledge you learned in this unit as you begin
writing your final project covering protection systems that will detect, contain,
control, and extinguish a fire. In addition, this assignment provides you with
the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your
response.

Prepare a
well-organized narrative addressing fire pumps and including your recommendations
after reviewing the background information and the information above. Your
discussion will consist of your evaluation of the previous fire pump and
recommendations for the rebuild of the warehouse, based on information from the
textbook and any additional research.

Section II

As we saw in the
Points to Ponder Scenario in the unit lesson, electrical surge protection
devices could have mitigated damage or even loss to the pump driver. Describe
the benefits that surge protection devices provide for fire pump components and
systems against the damages of voltage surges.

For this assignment,
you will write a two-page narrative (one page per section) supporting your
position. You must have a title page and references page. An abstract is not
required. You may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles,
case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent.
You should use at least three sources, one of which must be your textbook. All
sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and
quoted material must have accompanying citations following proper APA style.

Question 3

Instructions

How will this course
enhance your professional success?

Optional: Have you ever been in a situation where
smoke was present, or do you know someone who has experience this? Recall the
discussion about the hazards associated with smoke and the products of
combustion as they spread throughout structures. What are your thoughts on the
need for smoke management? Should smoke be controlled? Do you think the
strategies of controlling smoke have any implication on occupants or even
firefighters responding to a fire? Why, or why not?

Your journal entry
must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Question 4

Instructions

Part 8: Scenario-Based
Case Study

You have completed
seven parts on your recommendations for the scenario-based case study and are
now completing the final assignment for your project, which is your final
submission. Be sure to apply any of the professor’s recommended corrections to
the previous sections before submitting the final report in this unit.

Section I (Executive Summary)

In this section, you
will prepare a well-organized and thoughtful summary of your recommendations
for the fire protection system for the scenario-based case study course project
on the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse fire. This summary should
expound on what you have learned during the different parts covered in each unit,
so you can understand issues that exist within the fire protection technology
field. Place the summary after the title page, and follow it with each unit’s
recommendations.

The purpose of the
executive summary is to provide a narrative about the project with sufficient
detail to allow readers to be able to accurately describe your recommendations
to resolve potential fires in the future. Explain how your recommendations for
the scenario-based case study relate to the methodology you chose and to the project
outcome and conclusions. In other words, your summary must be clear, logical,
and demonstrate alignment among the goals, methods, and outcomes.

The executive summary
should be at least one page in length.

Section II

As you make
suggestions to improve the fire protection system, identify the components and
accessories common to smoke management and smoke control systems needed for the
rebuild of the warehouse. Refer back to the background information, if needed,
to provide you with the necessary material to identify the basic components
common to fire protection for the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse. In
addition, review the Points to Ponder Scenario in the Unit VIII Lesson for
additional information.

As with the other
assignments, this assignment is not looking for compliance with building codes
nor expecting you to be a fire protection system designer. However, the purpose
of this assignment is for you to apply the concepts and knowledge you learned
in this unit as you finish writing your final project covering protection
systems that will detect, contain, control, and extinguish a fire. In addition,
this assignment provides you with the opportunity to use your skills,
expertise, and experience to enrich your response.

For this section, prepare
a well-organized narrative addressing smoke management and smoke control
systems with your recommendations after reviewing the background information
and the Points to Ponder Scenario. Your discussion will consist of your
evaluation of information about smoke management and smoke control systems from
the textbook as well as from additional research.

Section II should be
at least one page in length.

Remember, you may use
information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly
papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least
three sources, one of which must be your textbook. All sources used, including
the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have
accompanying citations following proper APA style.

Final Assignment—Bringing It
All Together

Compile the entire
scenario-based case study recommendation into one cohesive report, and write
the conclusion. Each unit assignment that was previously submitted should be
edited or corrected based on you professor’s feedback.

Your final report must
use APA style guidelines and include the components listed below.

§Include a title page. (An abstract is not
required.)

§Provide an executive summary, which should be
placed as the first section of the report. The summary should not only contain
background information; it should also clearly state the recommendations. Use
paragraph format for the summary.

§The body should include each unit’s
recommendations using level one, level two, or level three headings to separate
and organize your paper’s sections.

§Include a concluding paragraph that recaps and
summarizes your key improvements for the warehouse. Focus on the expected
results of your recommendations and not the background of the scenario-based
case study.

§Include a references page, which lists all
references used in the report.
