The Prevention of Fire in Boston: Report of the Committee on Fire Prevention of the Boston Chamber of Commerce (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prevention of Fire in Boston: Report of the Committee on Fire Prevention of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
It is hard to understand how this attitude can prevail, when it is so clear to one who devotes a moment's thought, that the fire waste is a real and irretrievable loss, the destruction or poperty reducing by just so much the aggregate wealth of the community. This loss falls upon every member of the community in the form of increased taxes, increased insurance rates, increased cost of build ing materials, increased rent, and, sooner or later, may fall upon any one in the more obvious form of direct personal loss due to a fire in his own home or place of business.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the discrepancies and similarities between the prolific re waste in the USA and the far lower rates of res in Europe. The author, an early 20th century fire safety advocate, meticulously examines the different construction and safety standards employed on either side of the Atlantic, bringing into focus the economic consequences of these diverging approaches. The author concludes that the USA could dramatically reduce res and the huge related nancial losses by enacting and enforcing tighter building codes and re prevention regulations, while also promoting greater individual responsibility and public awareness of re safety issues. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331976424_0
