The incident took place on Monday 12 May 2009 at Central Connecticut State University.
- Fire Safety - Guide to a Safe Workplace
[Business:Workplace-Safety] Did you know that a fire accident has the most number of victims as compared to other types of accidents? Yes, it is astonishing yet true. A small fire not detected early could spread gradually and destroy your workplace and take the lives of your employees and you.
- Fire Drills - What Should You Do?
[Business:Workplace-Safety] Everybody is talking about fire prevention, fire safety, tips and hints and whatnot ever since the increase in fire accidents. But is that all that we need? Well, they are not exactly all that we need. There is more to it.
- Fire Risk Assessment and Responsible Management
[Business:Workplace-Safety] It is rather funny to acknowledge that whilst our workplace may be filled with the necessary fire fighting equipment, many of us would not know where to start in using this. Why is this so? Are we taking things for granted and hoping that fire accidents that had happened elsewhere cannot happen in our workplace? I guess we are. But, that mentality should be changed. What you can claim from insurance after a fire break-out is only monetary benefits; you could never claim back the invaluable lives of your staff.

- Furniture Fire Safety - Some Shocking Revelations
[Reference-and-Education:Survival-and-Emergency] We are all under the assumption that any new furniture that we buy is now completely fire safe. Indeed, when we check the relevant labels, we trust what they say and genuinely believe that they are real and there to protect us. It would now seem that this may not necessarily be the case.
- No to Fire Protection Equipment As it is Too Unattractive
[Reference-and-Education:Survival-and-Emergency] It would definitely seem to be the case that people are more concerned about keeping the things that they choose to keep around them more pleasing to the eye, rather than worrying about whether or not something may actually be able to save their life one day. This has got to be our materialistic society having gone mad. It is true though, people often refrain from having a vital piece of fire protection equipment because they feel that it will be too unattractive and obtrusive.
- Christmas Fire Safety Tips
[Home-and-Family] Christmas is a time when any home will face the increased danger of a fire.

Apparently, many smoke and fire alarms do not function as they should, whilst a boat is docked.

The purpose of these clear regulations was to consolidate the existing law and provide all of the people, that are responsible for most types of premises, with applicable guidelines to ensure the safety of their staff and all other people that may occupy their premises.
- Would You Know How to Handle a Kitchen Fire?
[Reference-and-Education:Survival-and-Emergency] Having suffered a serious kitchen fire, I realised that I would need suitable fire protection in the future. I investigated the best types of fire extinguishers.
- How Fire Safe is Your Place of Work?
[Reference-and-Education:Survival-and-Emergency] When I consider that I spend a lot of my time working within an office environment, it shocks me that very little consideration is shown towards the fire safety around me. Of course, fire drills may be carried out in accordance with Health and Safety laws, but is enough being done to truly protect me and other colleagues within my workplace?

- Not Hose Reels, Scots Reels! Dances of the Scots Countryside
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humanities] We're all familiar with reels as tools, whether we're talking about fishing reels, hose reels for fire fighting, or demo reels in the world of filmmaking or video art. But one use of the word "reel" that many of us have forgotten about is the tradition of the reel in dancing--one of the four basic dances of the mysterious highlands of Scotland.
- Fire Brigade Flushes Out Cornered Murder Suspect
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Fire hoses are most commonly associated in our minds with their intended function: putting out fires. But the simple fire hose, with its ability to direct extremely high-pressure sprays of water, has also been known in a more sinister aspect: as a weapon, used infamously against American civil rights marchers in the 1960s. But even this sinister quality to the common fire hose can have its positive side - as a Chinese fire brigade found out in 2007, when firemen used hoses to end a tense standoff between police and a suspected murderer.

- Fire Extinguisher Signs and the Age of the Symbol
[Reference-and-Education] Symbols: from fire extinguisher signs to airline diagrams, they're becoming a more and more common sight in our world. Some people consider the proliferation of the symbol to be a sign of declining literacy rates worldwide, and with them the decline of civilization in general. But the rise of the symbol is by no means bad--and by no means new.
- The Historian of Fire Buckets
[News-and-Society] Fire buckets--one of the great innovations of fire suppression technology, and one that today is largely obsolete. Foam extinguishers and other more modern means of fighting oil fires have become the standard, and the quaint red buckets of sand from yesteryear have become for the most part a thing of the past. But one artist is fighting to ensure that the past remains remarkably present.
