Fighting Fire with Fire

I am the Coder. Through the capacity of this role, I studied building codes, to see how it has been incorporated into the building and to find vulnerabilities and violations based on codes. The study is also to find deviations of the building from the codes and study its impact. My target casing manual helped me decode that the Theatre of Trade could exhibit vulnerabilities from the perspective of Fire Safety, and the response of the building to a fire-based emergency. My heist, titled: 'Fighting Fire with Fire', will be to challenge the building's protocols in place, to deal with a fire-based emergency. By stressing certain zones of the mall, the Heist will throw light on the inadequacy of the provisions in the mall to deal with the safety of people in such an emergency.
