I will need to present an essay to overview of the history and philosophy of fire prevention with a focus on the America Burning Revisited report, and explain what your jurisdiction, community, or department is doing as a result of the report.

The following items should be included in your essay.

• Identify major fires that led to the creation of fire codes and regulations near your location.
• Explain how the history and philosophy of fire prevention has impacted current day fire prevention methods in your area or jurisdiction.
• Compare and contrast the main contributors to loss-of-life fires and general safety provisions outlined in the America Burning Revisited report to the trends and general safety provisions in your own jurisdiction.
