Scholarly Activity

Within this unit, we covered water distribution systems. Based on the community served, these systems can be different. Research your own community, and describe the setting and the water distribution system that exists there. If you are not currently part of the fire service, talk to your local fire department, or call your local department/authority, and ask them about the system in your community.

Within your submission, be specific, and include other (different) systems that were discussed in this unit and how they affect your fire departments ability to provide fire protection to your citizens. Detail what fire protection systems will be required by personnel for the types of buildings in your community and what prevention efforts can support the system being discussed. Also, discuss the fire code being followed in your community, and why personnel should have knowledge of them.

On a page by itself, include a picture of a water tower in your community, or another part of the water system, if one is not present. Be sure to use at least your textbook as a reference.

Your paper should contain at least two pages of content. Your title page, reference page, and picture page do not count as part of the total page count.

This activity should utilize APA guidelines. Include at least your textbook as a reference and any additional references that you may use.

The community I live in is Lake Villa, IL .
