National Fire Safety Council, Inc. has created a comprehensive selection of fire and life safety educational materials for adults of all ages.
A significant factor contributing to the cause and spread of fire is human error -- failure to recognize hazards and take the adequate preventive measures; failure to act intelligently at the outbreak of a fire; and failure to take action which would limit damage.
This selection of prevention materials is designed to provide current and authoritative information about common fire and burn hazards and life safety practices. Because safety practices may vary under different circumstances, concerned adults may wish to consult with local fire and public safety authorities for additional information.
