Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire Safety in the Washington home is a non-fiction, children's book that talks about fire safety. Your child's safety is imperative. Children need to know the importance of fire drills and having a designated meeting place. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that their children are aware of the dangers of playing with matches and other fire hazards. It is a serious danger in our communities, and unfortunately, many lives are lost at the hands of children when they are playing with matches and lighters. Years ago, a Public Education/Public Information Officer, Las Vegas Fire Chief David Washington, invited the neighborhood children to his home and taught them, as well as his own children about fire safety. He ensured that the children knew the importance of fire safety. He felt that it was his duty to protect the children from their own curiosity that could endanger all. In this book, one of his daughters, April Washington, tells one story of their many lessons.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hearing, chaired by Representative Patricia Schroeder, was held to find ways to reduce the number of deaths and injuries that result from fires. Testimony or prepared statements were given by Representatives Schroeder, Michael Bilirakis, Romano Mazzoli, and Curt Weldon, as well as nine other individuals involved in fire safety issues, including professional fire fighters, members of fire safety groups, and concerned citizens. It was noted that the United States has one of the highest per capita fire death rates in the world, with roughly 6,000 fire deaths each year. Young children are at great risk of death and injury due to fire burns, with nearly 1,400 child fatalities and 14,000 serious injuries each year due to fires. The monetary costs of fires are tremendous, with over $50 billion spent each year on property losses, medical and insurance costs, fire department expenditures, and fire protection costs. Careless smoking and playing with fire cause the most harm to children. Poverty and poor living conditions increase the risk of fire death and injury. Smoke detectors and other safety devices greatly reduce the chances of dying in a fire. Despite the effectiveness of such safety devices, more preventive and educational measures are needed. (MDM)

He also asked us to investigate: 1)The fires and determine if automatic sprinkler systems would have put out the fires or lessened their severity in these facilities. 2) The facilities in Chicago and determine if they met the Life Safety Code requirements for participation in federally financed health programs. 3) The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's (HEW's) enforcement of fire safety standards in Chicago and elsewhere. 4) The State inspections of the Chicago facilities in question and HEW's validation of those inspections. 5) The State inspection procedures including the qualifications of the inspectors. 6) The quality of trained personnel assisting patients during the fires. 7) The implementation of Public Law 93-204, approved December 28, 1973, which authorized federally insured loans to provide fire safety equipment for nursing homes and intermediate care facilities.
