Each year Massachusetts has approximately 15,000 structure fires. The leading causes are factors owners and managers can help eliminate: electrical, smoking, cooking, heating, and plumber's torches. Owners and managers who take a proactive approach to fire safety are doing the right thing for their residents, as well as lowering their financial risk and ongoing insurance costs.
This presentation will give an overview of how a residential fire can get started. We will review the particular challenges of multifamily residential dwellings. We will share practical things owners and managers can do to educate renters, upgrade our buildings, and prevent fires of all kinds.
This presentation is not our detailed presentation on fire code. This presentation is about fire prevention, general building guidance, and renter communication. We will provide an overview of where detectors are likely to be required.
We will also discuss Carbon Monoxide, an odorless and lethal gas that represents its greatest danger during winter heating season.
Part of this presentation will be given by Lt. Maria Pelchar, Fire Inspector at the Holyoke Fire Department. She is an experienced MassLandlords speaker.
