The research report in this course is designed to allow you to discover, analyze, interpret, and report about a fire-related research problem. A problem is not necessarily a troublesome area, but an area of desired improvement. In other words, something may be performing well, yet, someone still wants to see it perform even better. That is what a lot research is all about—how can we do it better?
How can you, as a researcher, contribute to a better way of preventing and protecting communities from fire-related and emergency-related incidents? One way is to conduct research and to take it a step further by sharing your research with the fire-service community. Consider presenting your research at a conference. Such an activity is great for professional development and networking. Keep that in mind as you review and fine-tune the remaining details of your research report.
Include at least the following in your research report:
Title page
Table of contents
An introduction
The purpose of the report
A literature review
A hypothesis
A description of the research method (what you would do)
Conclusions/recommendations
A reference page
Ten pages (not including the title page, reference page, or any appendices)
Twelve empirical sources FIR 4308, Applications in Fire Research
Use your own words and apply APA style where it is applicable.
