Does a gasoline engine have a single point of failure? Does a motorized fire engine? Does a fire department? How does each of the latter two compensate for single points of failure in the previous one(s)? Explain your answers.

What will be an ideal response?

Engine: Yes—rotor, distributor, and so on.

Fire engine: Yes—engine, steering mechanism, water pumping mechanism,and so on.

Fire department: Probably—alarm system, dispatch system. A fire engine is hard-­? pressed to compensate for a potential failure of its engine. A fire department compensates for a failure of an engine by redundancy.
