Learning Objective: The student will get an overall understanding of the Community Risk Reduction section of the 2012 edition of the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule.
Fire prevention is the best line of defense against a fire. This can be achieved through proactive plans and strategies, such as community risk-reduction programs. As the name suggests, community risk reduction involves assessing the risks that a community faces and developing meaningful and effective risk-mitigating policies and practices to reduce or even eliminate potential risks.
