The final project for this class involves a presentation in PowerPoint format. The presentation should take no longer than 5-10 minutes and you must submit a written summary of your work to accompany the presentation. The final project consists of completing a drawing of a building which outlines specific items fire service personnel should be aware of when responding to businesses in their response area. Students are permitted to utilize any drawing medium they desire but their work must be original.

DO NOT SUBMIT A DEPARTMENT ORIGINATED DRAWING, ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL

Format and Grading of Assignment: Students will conduct and create a drawing of a pre-fire plan/building walkthrough within their response district. The drawing may be completed utilizing any drawing program (i.e. Microsoft Publisher, Visio, etc.) available. Students may create the drawing by hand.

Scoring will be assigned according to the grading rubric. To receive full credit, the following elements need to be present:

• Legend defining symbols used

• Business name and address (upper left-hand corner)

• Directional indicator (top of page)

• Utilities shut offs (water, gas, electric, etc.)

• General building layout

• Hydrant location(s) and approximate distance from structure

• Sprinklered or Non-sprinklered building

• Other critical information (i.e. special hazards, alarm control panel, informational messages, light weight truss use, etc.) Additionally, students must document significant building construction factors including (but not limited to) truss construction, old (pre-existing) or new construction, roof type, and construction type. Students must also identify any special hazard considerations regarding the structure that could pose additional challenges and/or risks to responding firefighters. For example, a building with significant roof loads (i.e. HVAC units) on top of truss construction would pose significant collapse hazard for interior crews.
