This groundbreaking new book offers fire inspectors, building code officials, and anyone in the field of building inspections a valuable resource that goes beyond understanding the codes to actually teaching how to enforce them. From filing charges for non-compliance to obtaining inspection search warrants to closing unsafe structures, inspectors today need to have effective documentation tools and skills to pursue fire code violators in an appropriate manner, but are often required to do so with minimal legal training. In response to this, The Fire Inspector’s Guide was developed, providing inspectors with a comprehensive set of the notices, letters, complaints and other documents that are critical to the effective enforcement of today’s most common problems and violations of the International Fire Code®. Also ideal for municipal attorneys who can use the included forms to draft legal documents, this book provides all the forms necessary to keep reporting accurate, consistent, and efficient.

Eine wahre Geschichte

Der 6. Juli 1944 verhieß für die Bewohner der Stadt Hartfort in Connecticut vergnüglich zu werden. Stattdessen endet er in einer Katastrophe: 167 Menschen sterben in den Flammen des größten Zirkusbrandes der amerikanischen Geschichte. Fesselnd und einfühlsam verfolgt Stewart O’Nan die Schicksale jener Menschen, die an einem scheinbar harmlosen Sommertag losgehen, um sich unterhalten zu lassen, und mit Tod und Schrecken konfrontiert werden. «Ein grandioses Stück Literatur.» (Der Spiegel) «‹Der Zirkusbrand› liest sich spannend wie ein Abenteuerroman, da er fast fiktiv in den vielen Verflechtungen menschlicher Schicksale wirkt und philosophisch in seiner Frage, weshalb gerade an diesem Tag bestimmte Menschen zu einer bestimmten Zeit an diesem bestimmten Ort zusammenkamen.» (NDR) «‹Der Zirkusbrand› ist Journalismus im Dienste der Literatur und Literatur im Dienste der Geschichtsschreibung.» (The New York Times) «Ein großes Buch.» (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
