At the mild level, there is moderate, repairable structural damage, and some delay in re-occupancy can be expected; injuries may be locally significant, but generally moderate in numbers and in nature; there is a low likelihood of a single life loss and very low likelihood of multiple life loss; and some hazardous materials are released to the environment, but the risk to the community is minimal. |

- Draft stopping in combustible attic spaces
- moke and fire compartmentation walls in occupied spaces
- Automatic fire alarm and detection
