Fire Protection
I need support with this Health & Medical question so I can learn better.
Question 1
Instructions
Jigsaw puzzles use strategies that develop problem-solving skills and boost logical reasoning. People complete jigsaw puzzles individually and in groups. In groups, cooperative learning is used to help each other solve the puzzle and build comprehension. Individually, it helps build critical thinking. Online, it is difficult to solve the puzzle and build comprehension or even critical thinking; however, take one piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and discuss the one piece as to what it is; when it activates; where it is used; as well as how and why it is used. Have you ever seen a sprinkler head activated? Where? Did it control or extinguish the fire?
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
Question 2
Instructions
Part 5: Scenario-Based Case Study
For this assignment, you will submit Part 5 of the scenario-based case study course project, which is due in Unit VIII. You should evaluate and revise the recommendations as needed during the process for each previous unit as you learn more during the progression of this course. Please continue to draw upon your imagination to think creatively on potential concerns with fire and explosive hazards, fire controls, and fire and emergency management. Look at fire protection technology in a holistic way that is significantly different from what was previously designed by thinking in isolation. You will evaluate and develop recommendations to resolve potential fires in the future.
Section I
As you make suggestions to improve the water-based fire sprinkler system, refer back to the background information, if needed, to provide you with the necessary material to identify the basic components common to fire protection for the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse. In addition, review the Points to Ponder Scenario in the Unit V Lesson for additional information.
This assignment is not looking for compliance with building codes nor expecting you to be a fire protection system designer. However, the purpose of this assignment is for you to apply the concepts and knowledge you learned in this unit as you begin writing your final project covering protection systems that will detect, contain, control, and extinguish a fire. This assignment provides you with the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your response.
Prepare a well-organized narrative that addresses foam and water-based fire sprinkler systems and includes your recommendations after reviewing the background information and the information above. Your discussion will consist of your evaluation of the previous water-based sprinkler system, based on information from the textbook and any additional research needed for your recommendations for the rebuild of the warehouse. Discuss the importance of water pressure, and determine the pressure for seven sprinkler heads discharging 157.5 gallons of water per minute.
Section II
As we saw in the Points to Ponder Scenario in the unit lesson, hot work is capable of generating a spark or heat from welding, cutting, grinding, burning, melting, or brazing, which can lead to a fire. Based on the scenario in the lesson, describe designated work areas. Discuss if hot work permits are required anytime hot work is performed in an undesignated area. Discuss the role of fire watch and if that individual has the authority to stop the hot work.
For this assignment, you will write a two-page narrative (one page per section) supporting your position. You must have a title page and references page. An abstract is not required. You may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources, one of which must be your textbook. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations following proper APA style.
Question 3
Instructions
The textbook suggests that there is some disagreement over the value of standpipe and hose systems as they may give false security to building occupants. Some believe having a standpipe hose may create the impression that occupants should fight fire even though a safer course would be to escape. What are your thoughts? Have you ever lived in an apartment, worked in a building, or attended a school that had a standpipe hose system? Do you believe occupants should fight fire? Do you believe they should escape? Why, or why not?
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Part 6: Scenario-Based Case Study
For this assignment, you will submit Part 6 of the scenario-based case study course project, which is due in Unit VIII. You should evaluate and revise the recommendations as needed during the process for each previous unit as you learn more during the progression of this course.

Prepare a well-organized narrative addressing the standpipe and hose systems and your recommendations after reviewing the background information and information above. Your discussion will consist of your evaluation of the previous standpipe and hose system, including classification and components, using information from the textbook and any additional research needed for your recommendations for the rebuild of the warehouse, including any impairments to standpipe and hose systems.
Section II
Read the Points to Ponder Scenario in the unit lesson before responding to this section. What are the various factors surrounding the ignition of cooking oil fires involving intermediate bulk container totes? What is the most effective extinguishing method for cooking oil fires? Consider the fire dynamics of cooking oil on the design of fire protection.
