This document outlines a three-step process for conducting fire risk assessments to reduce loss: 1) Perform a field checklist involving a walk-through, measurements, photographs, and sketch; 2) Create a pre-plan using a template, Google Earth, and floor plans; 3) Complete an assessment scoresheet that identifies buildings and evaluates potential hazard and risk reduction factors to determine a total hazard potential. Key factors include occupant load, fuel load, ignition sources, fire suppression, alarms, construction type, and water supply.
