Fire Prevention Program

For this assignment, you will be developing a Fire Prevention Program that you will present via PowerPoint. You will draw

ideas from both your occupational and educational experiences and knowledge. These are familiar surroundings, which

are likely to aide in your development of a program of fire prevention and life safety. Provided below is a brief scenario to

get you started.

Scenario: You have been a member of your organization’s Fire Prevention and Life Safety division for a number of years,

and you have just completed several college level courses relating to fire prevention and occupational safety and health

with an online university. You have presented your most recent grade records to your supervisor who is very impressed

with your accomplishments. In light of your achievement in these courses, your supervisor has assigned you the task of

creating a formal Fire Prevention and Life Safety Presentation to be composed for presentation to various civic

organizations such as Lions Club, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and the local Elks Lodge. Your primary

target audiences will be comprised mainly of adults therefore your presentation must be designed and geared for the adult

learner.

Your supervisor asks you to put together a slide presentation using the Five-Step Program model given by Diamantes (pp.

168-170 of your textbook). Your final presentation will provide your supervisor details of your process used in assembling

the presentation. A minimum of three slides must be devoted to each of the five-steps. Be innovative, creative, and

remember this is the first step in the overall process of creating a presentation worthy of public viewing and interest. This

presentation will be seen by ONLY your supervisor (at this time); however, you must make an impression that confirms

you have the “right stuff” to venture out for formal presentations to civic organizations.

Keep in mind that your organization has never embarked on such a project. You are the first, and as such, you want to

ensure that your supervisor views a clear and concise series of slides. It is intended that once you have mastered the

concepts and mechanics of the five-step process, your supervisor will, in all likelihood, assign you the additional task of

composing a formal slide presentation that will include specific elements relative to fire prevention measures intended to

education the public in both civic organizations as well as the public-at-large.

Treat your PowerPoint slides like any research paper—provide in-text citations and a reference slide for any outside

sources including direct quotations, paraphrased words or ideas, tables and data, and images.

Your completed presentation should contain the following:

?  A title slide (title, your name, and your organization’s name);

?  15-20 slides detailing your Fire Prevention Program; and

?  a reference slide (minimum of three references should be used to complete this assignment, not including the

textbook, and be sure to utilize the Online Library).

Be sure to make use of the Notes area of each slide to contain your own narration, as each slide should be brief and

concise. Notes are used during presentations and are not seen by the viewer
