This project involved investigating the information accessible to Fire Investigators pertaining to principles of building construction. A national survey, interviews, and a literature review revealed a potential for supplementation. Our project team concluded that an interactive tutorial to help Fire Investigators identify building collapse dangers would be beneficial. Our expectation is that a visual mode of presentation will convey the information most effectively, allowing Fire Investigators to apply this information to real life situations and improve their occupational safety.
