From the Paper:

"Throughout history fires have destroyed property and killed people. Because a fire can happen anywhere at anytime the world has experienced fires in almost every setting and capacity. Fires in major hotels, high rise buildings and single dwelling homes are all things that have been experienced within the last few years. Fire fighters devote their lives to the rescues and saving of others, while risking their own lives in the process. In the effort to curb the number of lives lost and to decrease the amount of property being destroyed fire safety management has become a popular line of defense in many venues. Fire safety management can be utilized in all areas of life. Whether it is promoting safety at elementary schools, in high rise offices or at large hotels the purpose of fire safety management is to educate and prevent future fires. Fire safety management has become more popular in recent years as the importance and effectiveness of preventative measures continue to become known. Years ago the fire department responded to the calls of fire and their entire existence was about reacting. Today, fire management techniques work in a proactive fashion and try and reduce the number of fires that occur."
