Case Study: Anatomy of a Disaster- The Dupont Plaza Hotel Fire by Mark Diamond.
Using the CSU Online Library, locate a case study about a fire in either a hotel or high-rise office building. Do not use any of the case studies in the textbook. Write a review of the case that is a minimum of 300 words in length. Your review should answer the following questions:
- What were the main factors that caused the fire?
- What was the fuel source for the fire?
- Were there design flaws in the building that contributed to either the start of the fire or the size of the fire?
- Were there issues with the building design or maintenance that hindered the fire response?
- What recommendations would you have made to the building design or maintenance that you believe would have prevented the fire from starting or reduced the severity of the outcome?
The case study and any additional sources must be cited in the text and references provided in APA style.
