FIREPROOF CHILDREN JOINS VISION 2020

Robert E. Cole, PhD, president of Fireproof Children, has been invited to participate in Vision 2020, a forum to develop a National Strategy for Fire Loss Prevention.

The forum brings together leaders in fire prevention  to guide the country’s efforts to reduce fire loss. Participating leadership includes the National Fire Protection Association, Home Safety Council, and Centers for Disease Control. Vision 2020 is sponsored by the Institution of Fire Engineers US Branch, with funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

The United States continues to have the 4th highest fire death rate among the 25 industrialized nations tracked by a 1947 President’s Report on Fire Prevention. The total cost of fire in the U.S. has risen dramatically in this time, to $278 billion or 2.5% of the gross domestic product.
