complete the worksheet about nature and outdoors This activity can be completed in your backyard, in your office yard, a nearby park, an urban green space, or anywhere you can get a little bit of nature under your feet! Now that you have learned about food webs and biodiversity, you will explore the environment “in your own backyard.” It may be easiest to print out this sheet and take it with you to complete the assignment. You can always record your answers on a separate piece of paper while outside and then bring them back to your computer to type in your responses afterward. Scientists are trained to take very detailed notes when they head out into the field. This is because all of the information you can collect could be important to analyzing your data in the future. It is important to be descriptive and even use drawings if you need to make sure your data is as complete as possible.

Question 1 Of the three “E” categories, engineering, education, and enforcement, which division is the most robust program in your jurisdiction? From your local experience, and after reflecting on the first two units of this course, what areas can you and your jurisdiction improve upon when it comes to fire education, engineering, or enforcement? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary. Question 2 How could having knowledge of building construction, general building, and fire code requirements in your area help keep firefighters safe on the fireground? How could that help you manage an effective code enforcement program? Share any experiences you may have. Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary. Question 3 Share your experience with fire inspection and code enforcement. What occupancies would give you the most trouble in your jurisdiction, and why? If you are not part of a fire department, use your current profession, and share any experiences with inspections and the enforcement of codes or regulations in your city or town. Now that you have a better understanding of fire inspection and code enforcement up to this point, what occupancies do you believe present the most significant hazard in your area, and why? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary. Question 4 Instructions In this unit, we have discussed the inspection process in detail. Now you will conduct a fire inspection via video and provide a narrative about the process. For this assignment, watch the following videos of an industrial occupancy that is fully sprinklered and alarmed: Video 1 () Video 2 () Video 3 () There is no audio in these videos. Then, complete the inspection checklist and write a report on the following items. Describe      what you would do to prepare for this inspection. Identify      the components of a thorough inspection. Describe      what code(s) and violation(s) apply to the occupancy in the videos. Explain      the right of entry and case law(s) that apply. Describe      how you would conduct your exit interview and its importance. Relate      this activity to your community. Have you noticed any of these violations      in your area? What do you believe to be the top violations in your specific      area? How would you handle remedying them as an inspector? Alternatively, you may choose not to watch the videos, and answer the following prompts. Describe      what you would do in preparation for an inspection. Identify      the components of a thorough inspection. Explain      the right of entry and case law(s) that apply. Describe      how you would conduct an exit interview and its importance. Identify      how you would record violations to ensure compliance. Relate      this activity to your community. Have you noticed any of these violations      in your area? What do you believe to be the top violations in your      specific area? How would you handle remedying them as an inspector? As you compete this assignment, it is important that you reference all of the applicable codes for the occupancy type, and those adopted in your jurisdiction to complete the assignment. Your submission should be one document that includes the completed checklist and a minimum of two pages that includes your responses to the prompts above. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.
