ASSIGNMENT | Principles of fire chemistry and fire dynamics

Unit I Article Review
For this assignment, use the CSU Online Library databases to locate a peer-reviewed article that is in some way related to
the principles of fire chemistry and fire dynamics as well as their effects on emergency situations. You can select any article
of interest dealing with this broad topic, which should give you plenty from which to choose. Some examples are reports
analyzing a fire or other articles that research what took place at a fire incident. You may also find an appropriate article on
the National Fire Protection Association, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, National Institute of Standards and Technology, United States Fire Administration websites. Be sure to select a full-length article. Letters to the editor, editorials, roundtable discussions, blog postings, or press releases made to look like articles are not acceptable for this assignment. This assignment is to give you practice reviewing articles that contribute to the industry.
The article you choose must meet the following requirements:
be peer-reviewed or scholarly in nature; relate to the concepts within this course and, if possible, to your research proposal topic; and
be at least eight pages in length.
The article review you submit must meet the following requirements: be at least two full double-spaced pages in length not including the title page or reference page;
identify the main topic/question;
critique the article and share your thoughts on what appears to be valid or invalid; and
include your thoughts on whether you agree with the author’s position, and why, or why not?
Be sure to summarize, paraphrase, and cite the information. Do not copy directly from the textbook or from any other
source. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have
accompanying citations and entries in the reference section. All references and citations used must be in APA style.

SAMPLE SOLUTION

In the article, Chemistry and Physics of Fire, the author explores the various principles that surround fire and the relevant dynamics when it comes to understanding emergencies created by fire incidences. The author introduces this article by asserting that fire is ideally a complex event where its investigators must have a concise understanding of the basic chemistry and the physics guiding it (Dawson, 2010). From this understanding, it becomes easier to formulate various opinions based on the guiding principles of fire. One fundamental principle in this introduction acknowledges that diffusion of flames and its accompanying processes comprise three critical elements…
