Week 8 Final Project

Read the "Firefighter Fatalities in the United States in 2016" report, and choose one of the causes of firefighter fatalities listed in the report to be the basis of your research. Then, design a policy based on a risk assessment that you perform for your current department or if you are not with a department, then use a future agency that you wish to serve or you can even use a fictional agency.  The intention of this policy is to minimize the potential death associated with the act.

The final project must include all of the following:

1. Background and Overview of the Fatality

2. Your conducted risk assessment

3. Discuss a policy you would enact to prevent this from happening again
