Remembering Past Fires Highlights Need for Safety Precautions
2013 marks the 10-year anniversary of the deadly fire at The Station nightclub in Warwick, Rhode Island. The fire claimed the lives of 98 people, and injured 81 people.
The fire began when a pyrotechnics display used inside the club ignited material in the building’s ceiling. Although the Station had more than four functioning exits, with lit EXIT signs, many people panicked and tried to leave using the same exit. The exit became blocked, trapping people inside. These people died, not as a result of the fire, but from inhaling the thick, black smoke that contained chemicals which were given off when the fire occurred.
Another tragedy occurred in March 2009 when four group home residents were killed in a fire in Wells, New York. This tragedy caused the state and the non-profit community to re-evaluate fire safety for people with special needs. New fire codes were established and the non-profit community developed new ways to train their staff to assist special-needs residents to prepare for fire emergencies. YAI, in conjunction with the New York Fire Department, developed a training DVD titled “Fire Safety for Staff Working with Individuals with Disabilities,” which uses actual residents to demonstrate evacuation procedures.
These tragedies, and others like it, reinforce the need to remember basic fire safety practices. Always be aware of your surroundings, know where all exits are at all times, be prepared to act quickly and calmly, have an evacuation plan and be sure to practice the plan. Being prepared will save lives.
