National Multi-Housing Council Want's More Fire Sprinklers

We could use another partner in our quest to sprinkler the world. Here's a powerful friend who was originally thought of as a foe to sprinklers. The National Multi- Housing Council and the National Apartment Association would like to install more fire sprinklers in their buildings but they can't support it without some trade-offs. Jeff Shapiro did a excellent program for our members explaining the history and future of the fire sprinkler/building code relationship in multi-housing.

Firefighters’ Attitudes Toward Fire Prevention Activities

BY: Marilyn Arnlund, Maple Grove Fire Prevention Bureau, Maple Grove, Minnesota

The problem was a disproportionate ratio between the number of firefighters who participated in fire prevention activities (FPAct) and the pace of the exploding population.

The purpose was to research and measure if negative attitudes contributed to the limited number of firefighters’ participation in FPAct.

Descriptive research was conducted to answer four questions:

What kind of attitudes do paid-on-call firefighters have towards FPAct?

When does this attitude about fire prevention emerge?

Who or what influences firefighters’ attitudes towards fire prevention?

How can the fire service get firefighters more involved in FPAct? To download the entire research paper in Microsoft Word format click here.
