For this project you will write a formal Fire Investigation Report (FIR) in a professional manner. You will identify the West (TX) Fertilizer Plant as your fire scene, using specific data already known through any of the many published public reports. (Again, NIST and NIOSH are valuable sources of information concerning the West (TX) Fertilizer Plant Explosion). Your report should be organized using the following headings (centered and bold):
Summary of the Incident
Building Construction Type
Source of Ignition
Overview of facility contents, protective systems and building operations
Technical Data of Chemicals Involved
Violations of Federal, State, or Local Laws
Findings and Recommendations
Each of the 7 segments should be a minimum of 200 words. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying in-text citations, and cited per APA guidelines.
