Abstracts must be typed double-spaced with 1″ margins.
No fonts larger than 12 point are to be used. Abstracts should be 1-1/2 to 2 pages in length.
Neatness (spelling grammar, appearance) counts. Do not use a
cover sheet. Any variation from the above format will result in loss of points. Abstracts may
be graded by an English grader for grammar and spelling, and I will grade for content. An
Averaged score will be given.
This is how it should look like.

Answer preview
The article provides comprehensive information concerning the prevention and management of fires in the country. It is also reliable as it cites multiple sources from which data in the section is derived. There is clarity in the presentation of the data. However, the content does not cover the prevention of fires and mainly focuses on the management of fires. In my opinion, a brief overview of the prevention of fires would offer the reader a wholesome outlook on fire safety, including more research findings relating to active and passive fires would make the article more factual and consequently improve reliability.
