high risk buildings

Partnering to reduce the risk to firefighters responding to high-risk buildings is important! High-risk buildings pose hazards to firefighters and communities because many are structurally unsound and not safe for any person to enter. Many fire departments lack the resources and authority to address these hazardous buildings alone. The best solution is creating partnerships to start a High-Risk Building Management Program.
