During the last few decades, building codes have been driven
largely by architects, engineers, building owners, and construction
material manufacturers. These organizations are often motivated by
controlling or reducing construction costs. Surprisingly, these
organizations do not take testimony from firefighters, fire
marshals, and/or fire chiefs when developing building codes.

Do you believe the fire service needs to play a more active role in
the building code development process? Explain your rationale, and
offer examples to support your position.
