This grant, offered by the Park Service Structural Fire Protection Department, aims to support youth pursuing degrees in fire protection engineering or structural fire management. Interns will be strategically placed across various parks to undertake critical structural fire prevention projects. Key responsibilities include conducting annual fire inspections, developing essential maintenance contracts, implementing hot work permit programs, providing fire extinguisher training, and performing hydrant flow tests. A significant component involves interns assessing structural fire risks in a designated historic park building. They will utilize their knowledge of fire codes to identify potential hazards that could lead to loss of life or structure, subsequently providing actionable recommendations for risk mitigation in a comprehensive written report. This initiative enhances park safety and provides invaluable hands-on experience.

| Description: | This project targets youth who are seeking degrees in fire protection engineering or structural fire management programs. The interns will be placed at various parks where there is a need to focus on projects such as annual fire inspections, developing inspection testing and maintenance contracts, developing hot work permit programs, fire extinguisher training, hydrant flow tests, and other structural fire prevention related projects. In addition, interns will be assigned a historic building in the park and will be asked to assess the structural fire risks that could result in the loss of life or the loss of the structure in a structural fire event. Interns will address the risk based on their knowledge of fire codes and provide recommendations to mitigate the risks in a written report. |
