<br />Fire Prevention
<br />
<br />In addition to adelluate Ineans of fire suppression, fire prevention efforts arc essential to an effective
<br />fire protcction program. 'Ibe best way to control a firc is to prcvent it from occurring in thc first placc.
<br />The PIt.:,I:'l.lIIlUII r;l\,; 1)\,;p,ldulL:uLUEl) encourages this approach through its public education
<br />programs and rcgularly schedulcd inspcction of all non-residcntial buildings. The Building and Firc
<br />Departmcnts also rcquirc built-in firc protection systcms in ccrtain ncw dcvelopmcnts, including
<br />automatic fire sprinklers, fire resistant constnlction, and early wanung fuc detection systems, in
<br />addition to acccss and sctback rcquircmcnts which facilitatc fircflghtcrs' cntry and providc firc
<br />separation.
<br />
<br />In order to implement fuc protection measures, the OJ.Jiu.lIIL.L.: CuJL.: u[ Llu.; Cily u[ Pltt/sanlon /\;t"t!iripdl
