A Look Back at Dormitory Fire Safety Research, In the wake of the Boland Hall fire on the Seton Hall Campus in 2000, the United States Fire Administration started an initiative to improve fire safety in college housing. USFA supported research to examine the levels of hazard created by fires in day rooms and sleeping rooms with and without automatic fire sprinklers. The value of smoke alarms and the impact of closed doors was also examined. This presentation will review the results of the dormitory fire experiments and look at their application to off campus housing. Twenty Plus Years of Tragedy and Triumph, From on-campus residence halls, fraternities and sororities, to off-campus living – all student housing brings unique dangers. We knew about some of the risks, but many fire tragedies over the years have highlighted why some of these were made worse. This presentation will examine some of these tragedies, the responses and what has been done to reduce the chances of it ever happening again. Learning Objectives include: Review case studies of fire causes and the impact on student housing. Look at how the educational programming has changed as it relates to fire safety ; Highlight how stakeholders have been included in the fire safety process; Examine how new codes, standards and technologies have been developed to reduce this risk. Fire Alarm System Replacement Considerations, Nationwide, there are tens of thousands of buildings with aging fire alarm and other fire protection systems. This presentation will discuss how a facility manager can know if a fire alarm system needs to be upgraded or replaced and what plans can be made to provide a path for a successful fire alarm system replacement. It will review various design options that are available for a fire alarm system replacement, along with pros and cons on the different approaches. And it will cover the four key factors that should influence a quality fire alarm system replacement program. Owners, facility managers and maintenance staff will benefit from this presentation. This presentation will feature the following learning objectives: How do you know if your fire alarm system needs an upgrade or replacement? | How can you plan for a successful fire alarm system replacement? | What design options are available for fire alarm system replacements? | What four factors should influence a quality fire alarm system replacement plan?
Be Fire Smart ™ by Sandy Mills-Alford, CEO, AliveTek 2020 changed the nature of higher ed in many ways. Some of those ‘adjustments’ we were glad to leave behind, but others proved to be not only effective during a pandemic – but better. When social distancing prevented the use of the typical fire drill, Montclair State went online! Using Be Fire Smart! TM training, they could be assured that students were learning essential information about these risks. By customizing the course, they were able to bring in their own policies and floor plans — delivering the right information to the right users — and getting time and date stamps showing when learners agreed to abide by the policies. By formalizing the training process, Montclair substituted the fire-drill based training, which – in the case of Shawn and Alvaro – led to fire-drill fatigue and a lack of urgency among students when a real fire did break out.
