USFA Conference

USFA Conference

The USFA will hold its sixth annual conference, entitled “Fire Safety Where you Live,” Jan. 19-21 in San Francisco.

The conference sessions will be structured around four strategies for attacking the residential fire problem—technological, managerial, behavioral and environmental.

Discussions on such topics as ways to identify and measure your local fire problem and its impact, political pressures which you can anticipate, and financial implications you should examine will be included.

Program speakers and panelists representing various communities with experience in researching or implementing solutions will also take part in the conference. Ways of reducing dangerous household goods and materials will be examined.
