How does the Firehouse.Com community feel about these ideas?
1. Any commercial/industrial/R&D occupancy that deals with hazardous materials must place the NFPA 1704 diamond on all sides of the structure to warn firefighters of the worst possible fire/health/reactivity/special hazards on the premesis.
2. Any building with truss construction will have a universal sign on all sides of the structure as a warning to firefighters.
3. Any abandoned/vacant structure that is deemed unsafe for firefighting operations will be marked with a universally understood sign posted prominently on all sides of the structure to indicate that firefighting operations will be done from the outside only.
I feel that federal legislation on these matters will help save firefighter's lives. Your opinions?
