NEw EI’~GLA~X~D ASSOCIATION OF FIRE CHIEFS An occasional Chief, who fears the hazards involved clears his skirts by refusing to okay any nursing home license in his town. By this means, he may whitewash himself but the result is that the old folks from his city are shunted off to the rest homes in some other town where the Chief looks at his duty more conscientiously. These patients then become an unfair burden on some other Chief. In any cases, the Chief should give the proposed home a searching examination before approving the issuance of a license. Could he get ladders, up to all the windows? Has he men enough to rescue the proposed number of patients? Could he use more than one or two lines with what water is available? Inside the building, are the chimney and heater in first-class condition? Is. the heater cut off from the rest of the building? Are the important doors self-closing? Are the halls and stairways loaded with varnish? Can the stairs be cut off economically? And, most important, there is that question of exits for bed patients. . Let me give you some confidential data on the results of a recent inspection by competent people, not of re~ homes, but of hospitals, where conditions should be much better than in boarding homes, according to normal expectations. Here is what the inspection of 153 hospitals turned up: Only four out of each ten hospitals, had sprinklers. Half of the hospitals had substandard protection of vertical openings. Half of them had combustible finish with varnish or paint hazards. Almost half of them lacked smoke barriers. In one-third, the doors swing in, not out. One-third had housekeeping hazards; Two-thirds needed facilities for emergency evacuations. One-half lacked satisfactory alarm systems. ;Fhis Was in hospitals, mind you! I, myself, inspected a town infirmary in Massachusetts that exhibited lacks in all the categories I have mentioned, and was told if the recommended improvements had to be made, the town would never vote the money, but would close the infirmary. To show you wh~it such conditions mean, let me quote from the N. F. P. A. fire records for such institutions.: "County Home for the Aged, Har[isonville, Mo., October 27, 1950; four dead. ~ ~Fire that originated in a closet beneath the basement stairs, took the lives of four elderly men before they could be rescued from their basement sleeping quarters in the two-story brick, wood-joisted building. No sprinklers or automatic detection equipment was provided, no night attendant was on duty; all stair~rays were open; the building was a mile from the nearest hydrant. Only the timely arrival of a bakery delivery. man at 4:15 A.M. probably prevented the death list from claiming all of the nineteen elderly occupants and six attendants asleep in the building. Firemen could not enter the basement, but were able to complete evacuation of the smoke-filled upper floors. They then prevented fire from extending above the first story with four 1 ~-inch lines, equipped with fog nozzles, and supplied from a 6,000 gallon cistern." Now, what are the Fire Chief’s. opportunities to be helpful? 117
