There are many players in course development, each of whom plays an equally important part in its success. We want to acknowledge their participation and contribution to this effort and extend our heartfelt thanks for making this quality product. The following people participated in the creation of this course: Woody Stratton Training Specialist U.S. Fire Administration, National Fire Academy Emmitsburg, Maryland Russell Kuck Instructional Systems Specialist U.S. Fire Administration, National Fire Academy Emmitsburg, Maryland Rae Harrison Contract Specialist U.S. Fire Administration, National Fire Academy Emmitsburg, Maryland George F.

This course will include identifying and mitigating common risks, as well as understanding the basic components and operation of fire protection and life safety systems. AUDIENCE, SCOPE AND COURSE PURPOSE The target population for this course will include (but not be limited to): • Campus staff with responsibility for student safety, including campus housing coordinators. • Fire department staff (both on campus and off campus). • Local government officials (code enforcement, building inspection, etc.). • Off-campus housing interest groups. This course is the third in a series of three interrelated courses. The course will use an interactive lecture format with group activities. This two-day course will be offered at the state and local levels. It is intended to predominately be delivered at a college campus in a metropolitan area with several colleges and universities nearby. In addition, the course will occasionally be offered at the NFA campus. Learners should possess the ability to read and comprehend standard fire safety documents, including checklists, regulations, standards and codes that will be introduced or reviewed in this course. There are no other prerequisites identified. Prior attendance at another CFLS course, while encouraged, is not a prerequisite. The purpose of this course is to empower the learners with the ability to prevent or mitigate CFLS risks and impacts. This course will include identifying and mitigating common risks, as well as understanding the basic components and operation of fire protection and life safety. There will be a focus on looking at the fire and building codes and systems, on- and off-campus fire risks, special concern facilities, and educating students, personnel and stakeholders about these risks. An additional outcome will be the ability to adapt or enhance an existing program so that it meets the needs of the local campus community. GRADING METHODOLOGY Each learner will be assessed on the last day of class with one of two versions of the final examination. Each written evaluation will consist of a minimum of 30 multiple-choice questions. If needed, a retest form for learners who do not pass the first attempt can be used. Learners will each need to earn at least a score of 70 percent on the 30-question final examination to pass the course. If they do not pass, they may take the alternate form of the examination once to attempt to obtain a passing score of 70 percent. vii CAMPUS FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY III: CODES AND SYSTEMS This page intentionally left blank. viii CAMPUS FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY III: CODES AND SYSTEMS SCHEDULE TIME DAY 1 DAY 2 Unit 2: Building Fire Protection and Life Safety (cont’d) 8:00 - 9:00 Introduction, Welcome and Administrative Activity 2.3: Creating a Testing, Maintenance and Inspection Program 9:00 - 9:10 Break Break 9:10 - 10:20 Unit 1: Codes and Systems Unit 3: Facilities 10:20 - 10:30 Break Break Unit 1: Codes and Systems (cont’d) Unit 3: Facilities (cont’d) 10:30 - 12:00 Activity 1.1: Raising Awareness in the Activity 3.1: Creating a Fire Prevention Campus Community Through Stakeholders Hazard Inspection Program 12:00 - 1:00 Lunch Break Lunch Break Unit 1: Codes and Systems (cont’d) 1:00 - 2:15 Unit 3: Facilities (cont’d) Unit 2: Building Fire Protection and Life Safety 2:15 - 2:30 Break Break Unit 3: Facilities (cont’d) Unit 2: Building Fire Protection and Life Activity 3.2: Developing an Off-campus Fire Safety (cont’d) Safety Inspection Program Activity 2.1: Emergency Response to Fire 2:30 - 5:00 Activity 3.3: Greek Housing Theme Party Protection System Alarms Activity 3.4: Special Concern Facilities Activity 2.2: Coordination of Installation of New Fire and Life Safety Systems Unit 4: Evaluating a Campus Fire and Life Safety Inspection and Prevention Program ix CAMPUS FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY III: CODES AND SYSTEMS This page intentionally left blank. x CAMPUS FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY III: CODES AND SYSTEMS xi CAMPUS FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY III: CODES AND SYSTEMS xii CAMPUS FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY III: CODES AND SYSTEMS xiii This page intentionally left blank.

  • Survivors Still Push Fire Safety 20 Years After Seton Hall Blaze Hannan Adely, Northjersey.Com Published 5:30 A.M
    'Second chance at life': Survivors still push fire safety 20 years after Seton Hall blaze Hannan Adely, NorthJersey.com Published 5:30 a.m. ET Jan. 16, 2020 A pre-dawn blaze tore through a freshman dorm at Seton Hall University 20 years ago on Jan. 19, killing three students and injuring 58 others in a tragedy that brought national attention to campus fire safety and drove colleges and states to ramp up fire prevention practices and laws. Despite reforms, the fight for safety continues, say survivors of the fire and advocates who are pressing for more student education programs, expanded sprinkler mandates and other measures they argue will save lives. Among those advocates are Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, who were badly burned in the fire on Seton Hall's South Orange campus and who have dedicated their lives to preventing similar tragedies. 20 years have passed since the Seton Hall dorm fire that killed three and injured 58. Survivors Alvaro Llanos (left) and Shawn Simons are working to promote fire safety on campuses across the U.S. Llanos and Simons on Tuesday, January 14, 2020, outside of Boland Hall, where the fire took place. (Photo: Michael Karas/NorthJersey.com) “Sometimes sacrifices have to be made,” said Simons, 38, of Roselle. “If it didn’t happen to us at Seton Hall, maybe it would have happened at Rutgers or maybe at Fairleigh Dickinson, where maybe 30 people die, and not three die. It had to happen to make things a lot safer for students.” Today, Simons and Llanos tour colleges and high schools in the United States and Canada to talk about fire safety and overcoming adversity.

    C OMMENCEMENT 2003 Celebration and Remembrance t was a day filled with celebration for the 2,047 1. 2. Igraduates who received their degrees during Seton Hall University’s 146th Commencement Exercises on May 12. But the joy - ous occasion also was bittersweet, as the Seton Hall community honored the three fallen members of the Class of 2003 — Frank Caltabilota, John Giunta and Aaron Karol. Family members accepted memorial degrees on behalf of the three young men while three 3. candles brightly burned in remem - brance and hope. 1. Citing the many personal and professional challenges he has faced since his own graduation in 1965, William F. Baker, Ph.D., president and CEO of Thirteen/WNET, shared four keys to success with the Class of 2003: ethics, education, faith and community. “These four factors, alone or in combination, have equipped me to pass any test,” Baker said in his Commencement Address. “I urge you to cultivate them in your own lives, so that they may serve you as life’s challenges begin to come your way.” Baker, to whom Seton Hall awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree, has shaped American broadcasting in both the commercial and public sectors. A strong advocate for the educational potential of television, he has served as president and CEO of Thirteen/WNET New 4. York since 1987. Among the numerous honors he has received for his work as a producer are seven Emmy awards. 2.
