After reviewing the report provided by the directorate general of civil defense buildings fire prevention and protection requirement and the National Fire Protection Association codes, it is apparent that the law is very strict in matters pertaining to fire outbreaks.
The guidelines are very specific detailing every measure that ought to be kept to prevent fire cases from buildings. The guidelines are very specific, an essential factor to prevent any type of fire since many fire cases arise from accidents and not planned.
Therefore, it is appropriate to assert that the law is working appropriately. However, despite the fact that the law is very explicit in all components that ought to be adhered before permission for building construction is given, implementation continues to be a big challenge especially with the rising cases of corruption. In regard to how the law has been formulated, it is clear that it has been created to work effectively and efficiently.
However, what lacks is the means of making the different concerns highlighted feasible considering factors such as economy, corruption and monitoring. There have been many cases whereby buildings are constructed only to find later that they do not have all the necessary requirements as per the National Fire Protection Association guidelines of new construction and existing buildings. Therefore, the cases of corruption whereby permit is given to individuals who do not want to meet the minimum requirements of building construction is the greatest concern that should be addressed.
There are high chances that eliminating corruption within the field of building construction will reduce if not eliminate the many cases of fire outbreaks that happen often. In this way, many lives and properties will be saved.
