Question One
According to this broadcast, the fire which occurred in the Station Night Club was so dangerous. The explanations given depict that it was as a result of breakdown in the power supply system. I am strongly convinced that there was a problem with the ignition source.
Many people were not able to evacuate in a safe manner as a result of poor design of the building and inadequate supply of fire extinguishing equipments.
Question Two
The unfortunate incident at the Station Night Club was an eye opener in Rhode Island. It led to radical changes in fire safety. More importantly, it led to an active participation by the authorities in sensitizing people on the best ways to prevent fire accidents.
Question Three
I am strongly convinced that the majority of fires occur in social places. These are areas in which many people are always coming together to enjoy themselves. It may be so due to the fact that fire safety is not prioritized. Just like in this club, many investors do not put the interests of their client primary to their financial gains.
Question Four
According to Madrzykowski, the number of fire accidents can be reduced by taking amicable steps. Although it has now become a common problem, it can be prevented by imposing stringent rules and creating public awareness.
Question Five
Many states have introduced the use of home automatic sprinkler systems. These have been mostly been used in new buildings. Many states have ruled that each newly constructed home must use these gadgets to ensure that fire outbreaks are tamed before they wreck havoc to the surrounding structures. Such regulations have helped to reduce the rate of fire accidents.
Question Six
In this broadcast, Madrzykowski gives a comprehensive analysis of fire crises. As he argues, very many lives may be lost as a result of fire accidents.
Question Seven
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been in the fore front in controlling fire outbreaks. It has carried out civic education and sensitized the people on the appropriate precautionary measures to take in reducing the rate of fire outbreaks in homes. Through the enforcement of laws, fire accidents have tremendously reduced. These projects have helped in informing people to change their attitudes and take their safety more seriously. They have been a milestone in fighting this menace.
Question Eight
In this broadcast, Madrizykowski brings a very important idea regarding the innovations which can be adopted to help in addressing the cases of fire outbreak in homes. He suggests that cooking equipments should be revolutionized. They should be made in such a way that can be easier to handle and can not cause any fire outbreak in the kitchens. They should be refined to make them friendlier and not become the sources of fire. For instance, gas cookers should be easier to handle and maintain by knowing when it leaks.
Question Nine
The focus of fire protection prior to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire was on fire extinguishers. The government was the main player in controlling fire outbreaks. However, this finally changed.
Question Ten
Madrzykowski says that people would like to have fire extinguishers in their homes. These can help them to manage both small and large scale fire outbreaks in their homes. It is the first step in fire protection.
