Dear President Dr. Rodger Best

It is with grave concern we are contacting you and bringing to your attention several deadly conditions that are threatening the lives of the university’s staff, students, and guest. These conditions exist with Hendricks Hall. We recently walked through and around Hendricks Hall and was horrified by its deadly nature. It is literally a fire trap of death in its current condition. 

            In a brief summary we must cover the major concerns to get attention to dangers at hand. We have limited amount of exits and no sound exit for the disabled. The disabled are expected to use an elevator. Using an elevator during a fire is taught against in every sound fire safety program and is common sense. The AC system runs on the floor and presents a tripping hazard besides just a great way to feed fresh air to open flames. The sprinkler system is limited to the stage area. The is no sprinklers in the seating areas and the one system in the stage area would quickly flood steps making a slip, trip, and fall hazard. There are paper emergency exits which has no dependability. And last major concern we have fire extinguishers are not being properly serviced.

Worst Case Scenario for Hendricks Hall Involving a Fire

For effective decision-making worst-case scenarios are the important part of the prediction as well as planning that is necessary. Thinking involves in the worst-case scenario identifying the possible event of worst cases as well as to prepare the implementing actions for those events. As we take the case that is happened in the Hendricks Hall while the hall is under construction. There is a case of fire that is happened because of the careless behavior of the worker that works at the Hendricks Hall. As in the room there is the drum of petrol which is used for generators. All the workers know about that they are not allowed to go to that room. One of them is smoking while working unintentionally he drop the cigarette at that room after some time the room is full of fire all the material burn into fire as there is petrol the fire spread rapidly. The fire fighter reaches there with no time but they can’t overcome with this worst fire in the hall. This becomes the worst time for them but they handle this after some time. A lot of people stuck their but they are rescued them. After that the Hendricks Hall focuses on the problems and solution of the fire situation as well as also makes sure about the securities.

Executive Summary of Identifying known Fire safety Issues with Hendricks Hall

            Problems facing Hendricks Hall vary from minor to major and could lead to great losses up to the ultimate cost of life these problems are as follows; poor available exits, lack of fire suppression controls, inadequate heating and cooling ventilation, and slip, trip, & falls hazards. To be up to peak operating levels the building would have to remodeled and which would be costly and into the millions however, there are already wishes to renovate this building according to the UCMO web site (see Source 4) and making these adjustments may not have a costly impact as expected. The additions that are in dire need are as follows; rid of the overhead balconies, the need of installed fire sprinklers throughout the entire hall, bring up to date all fire extinguishers, have all fire exits clearly marked in accordance to NFPA standards, have all entry, aisle ways, & exits handicap accessible, in the main seating area add exits on each side, remove the current ventilation system out of floor of Hendricks & install a more modern system that would not be in the ground, fix all housekeeping shortcomings, ensure all equipment is safe to use, and add illumination controls to all aisle ways, entrances and exits. These updates would be costly but, there is already wishes in effect to modify this hall and we could just piggy back off it and correct these needs. It would help further protect thousands of lives in the near future. We never hope a fire breaks out in Hendricks and that is with a heavy heart we must prepare protect our extended UCM family.
