If your department does not have a copy of this publication for you to refer to, as I may assign a reading and discussion session related to this publication during the semester, please seek a copy from another department. Online research is encouraged to update any case law or information you seek. Make sure you cite your sources.

Assignment - Laws affecting the fire service affect how your department operates. Several federal regulatory agencies affect how your department operates in many, if not all, phases of your department operations. Write a 3-5 page paper (content) using APA format on the effects of laws and regulatory agencies on your department. Please identify at least three federal agencies and three federal laws affecting your department.
