Three internal and external pressures face todays fire service

Using an ? ? Approach to manage risk requires the following:

Hazards can be grouped into three general types: (COI)

Community hazards: MECE

NFPA five hazard type categories: FNROT

The Bureau of labor statistics (BLS) categorizes hazards and their causes as:

Hazard control hierarchy: ? ? are Often most expensive method of control but are highly reliable
