CODE Brew – Fire Prevention
Friday January 23rd at Noon (EST)
Every other week we encourage members, and those considering membership, to join us on a zoom call with their favorite beverage. It is our time to unwind, wrap up the week with friendly conversation, and get to know other Professional Chapter Members. Topics for discussion include everything from code questions to office policies, to architectural trends to which beverages we are partial to – and everything in between.
Topic: Fire Prevention
The Building codes have 3 chapters about fire safety, as well as its own code book. (International Fire Code.) The National Fire Protection Association has its own codes for Fire, Life/Safety, Sprinklers and Fire Alarms. The mid-1970s show that the US had the highest death rates due to fire in the Industrialized World. Between 1977-2011 the death rate improved by over 71%.
Why? Due to technology (smoke alarms & detectors), improved education (Stop Drop and Roll), changes in consumer safety (fire-safe cigarettes, fire resistant products) and changes in Code.
There are so many factors that go into the fire safety code that, of course, we can’t go over everything in one hour. So bring your specific questions, and let’s go over those. Our goal is to have a fire safety expert on the call with us, so please join us.
Join us January 23 at noon and let’s discuss this.
