Description

Apply NFPA 1452’s solutions to protect lives and property in your community.

NFPA 1452: Guide for Training Fire Service Personnel to Conduct Dwelling Fire Safety Surveys provides fire department training officers or other fire service personnel with basic guidance on elements to include in a locally developed dwelling fire safety program. Principles can be applied to single-family as well as multi-family dwellings in both rural and urban communities.

The 2010 NFPA 1452 encourages community-wide hazards education.

Important updates include a new chapter that encourages a fire department or organization to expand their public service and education program to include other major hazards, both natural and human caused. This opens the possibilities for an all-hazard community-wide education program, coordinated with other organizations and resources.

Other revisions help reduce common hazards in a comprehensive approach to fire safety.

Used together with NFPA 1144: Reducing Structure Ignition Hazards from Wildland Fire, the 2010 edition of NFPA 1452 provides a more complete approach to reducing fire hazards “inside and outside” homes, dwellings, and other structures. The chapter on wildland/urban interface hazards is completely revised to reflect the 2008 edition of NFPA 1144. This revised approach to inspecting or surveying of properties in the wildland/urban interface includes information from the NFPA Firewise Communities program and other NFPA® documents.

This important edition of NFPA 1452 is essential for community leaders as well as fire fighters, public educators, fire service training, company officers, inspectors, and wildland fire personnel.
