Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the immense financial and human costs of the nation's fire problem and suggests a path to remedy the situation. The author argues that American fire losses can be greatly reduced not by increasing our fire fighting departments, but by removing the preventable causes, which largely stem from poor construction and carelessness. The suggested solutions lie in implementing preventive measures ranging from individual vigilance to stricter building codes, with special emphasis on rendering buildings fire-resistant through the use of incombustible materials and structural components, such as fire-stopping and fire doors. While recognizing that education and individual responsibility are important factors, the author also stresses the need for legislative action to incentivize the adoption of fire safety measures, especially in areas where self-interest falls short, such as in protecting against conflagrations and ensuring life safety. Ultimately, this book advocates for a balanced approach that combines education, legislation, and individual action to mitigate the devastating consequences of fire.
