Fire Inspectors 5 Most Common Violations Building owners and managers have a very tough job to do - from dealing with maintenance, security, tenant issues and government compliance. Always considering fire safety ensures that some very simple, but sometimes overlooked, items are addressed and small problems are alleviated before they turn into big catastrophes. A lack of handling routine maintenance items can end in disaster. The fire at The Station Nightclub in 2003, where 100 people were…

reason for their dominance of the energy sector. Even though there are large oil reservoirs and many reserves of coal, one must understand that they will not last forever (“Energy Sources Pursued?” 21). This produces a frightening dilemma: coal and gas are easy to find and harvest now, but what about the future? Even though there may be still be oil to drill, all the oil near the surface is gone (“Energy Sources Pursued?” 14). This will eventually snowball into a net energy loss - when the…

When Mount Vesuvius had erupted in 79 AD the eruption caused fatal damage to the environment, causing many animals to be killed by the toxic gases released from the volcano or the chemical in the water caused by volcanic ash in the animal’s water source. Mount Vesuvius had a major effect on vegetation because it left an entire region as a desert wasteland, any plant that had an encounter with lava had died straight away, through other plants died from volcanic ash that was ejected from the…

mining techniques are used. So the entire surrounding community is at a higher risk of health problems. Then, I think it is not worth the risk because of the site accidents. The potential accidents while working in a mine include cave-ins, poisonous gas releases, explosions, and flooding. Each day there is a possibility that a miner will have an accident each day that he goes to work. In 2010 33 Chilean coal miners were trapped almost nearly half a mile underground for 69 days. For me I…

In the issue of fracking, using water and various chemicals to extract natural gas from the ground, many people support it on the basis that it makes the United States less dependent on foreign energy supplies, however, it destroys the environment around it, which leads to people disregarding it as a risk not worth pursuing. An editorial in the Toledo blade called ”Fracking’s Dangers,” explores the relationship between fracking and the increase in earthquakes within the past few decades. The…

Ethanol Nonrenewable energy resources, such as fossil fuel, being depleted at an increasingly distressing rate. Therefore, other options for transportation fuel that consist of renewable energy resources, has been taken under consideration. Ethanol is such a resource, which encourages the rise of an optimistic outlook in satisfying the continuously staggering need for energy resources. Although, ethanol has an array of potentials to diminish the need for transportation fuel, it does not come…

Discovered by a two German Chemists, Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter co-founded Indium in 1863. Their initial focus was to trace potential Thallium in Zinc ores (rocks), however, it eventually led them to extracting Indium as a by-product of Zinc ores. As of today, there are multiple regions and elements in which Indium can be extracted from but it is not because of its accessibility but rather the demand. The demand for Indium is primarily used for technological purposes- the most prevalent…

Whether it be the gasoline our cars utilize or the electrical currents that power our phone, everyone uses energy in some form. Most of the time, the energy being used are fossil fuels, e.g., crude oil, natural gas, and coal. Despite the wide audience that reap the benefits that fossil fuels provide, they actually do more harm to the Earth than most people think. 85% of America’s fuel usage comes from fossil fuels. The usage of fossil fuels do provide immense amounts of energy throughout…

For miles different parts of the sky are lit by the glow of flares. These flares come from the flare pits in which excess gas is burned from fracking stations spread across the area. Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota, the Bakken, is where you can watch these flares burn. This is an area of one of the biggest oil booms in the United States. Seeking the high paying jobs and the possibility of getting ahead after being hit by the recession people from all over the country come to work. My…

Life safety and property protection from further damage is the main priority for fire fighters. They may have to damage parts of the scene to save or protect lives. The majority of the evidence get destroyed or lost from the activities done by fire service. That result in the spoliation, contamination, removal, loss, unnecessary movement of physical evidence, complication of the scene and detraction of the evidence validity. Therefor it becomes harder for fire investigators to figure and conduct…
