Fire dynamics and the benefit of residential sprinklers

Instructions

Based on the information in this course, you will prepare a research paper that will explain how
modern fire behavior is influenced by building construction and will conclude with an argument
for the necessity of residential fire sprinklers. Unfortunately, there is a debate regarding benefit
versus cost for the installation of residential fire sprinklers. Your ultimate job in this research
paper is to end the debate with sufficient support for the use of residential fire sprinklers.
In addition, you will discuss within your paper each of the following items.
Explain how modern building construction has changed fire dynamics.
Describe and explain the four methods of extinguishing fires.

Describe how the chemical chain reaction of fire can be interrupted to facilitate extinguishment.
Describe the possible fuel package energy within the homes discussed. Provide an outside
picture of the homes discussed.
Describe water’s relationship with fire extinguishment.
Provide a cost-benefit analysis on the installation of fire sprinklers.
Describe methods to remove oxygen from a fire to extinguish flames.
Describe the impacts on the community regarding fire.
Again, your main task in this assignment is to research this topic and provide a reasonable
argument for why residential sprinklers provide protection against the dangers and are cost
effective for the general population. Support your evidence with sources and provide references
for them
