National Fire Protection Week is officially from October 4 through October 10, 2009, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). It is a great time to think about fire prevention and protection, but these issues demand year-round focus.
One of NFPA’s slogans is “Stay Fire Smart! Don’t Get Burned”. It is to the point and worth remembering. The association gives the following simple examples of how to be “fire smart”: testing the water before putting a child in the bath and wearing short or close-fitting sleeves when cooking on the stove-top.

I have represented many people who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of fires caused by the recklessness of others, including property owners and managers, as well as the negligence of manufacturers of defective products. We encourage property owners and managers to be sure their fire alarm and smoke detector systems are in excellent working condition. It’s a matter of life and death.
Be safe.
