Suchdelay would obviously result in increased danger to life and property.If the building is erected in accordance with the proposed plans, theeffectiveness of fire-fighting services may be significantly impaired.I feel it is my duty to bring these deficiencies to your attentionbefore you proceed with your development.Yours faithfully,for Director of Fire Services(Ref.
