3 Fire Safety in Licensed Care Facilities Today s Licensed Care Facilities offer many amenities. Fire safety remains paramount. Nearly 1.5 million Americans reside in about 16,000 nursing homes.

4 Fire Safety in Licensed Care Facilities Nursing Homes have a tragic history of multiple fire deaths. A 1951 fire at the McClary rest home in Hoquiam where 21 elderly people died, caused a national outcry and prompted sweeping legal changes in senior citizen care legislation created the State Fire Marshal s Office. In 1951 the inspection of Nursing Homes became one of its core missions.

35 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Fire Behavior - Smoke Spread Smoke is what kills most fire victims This resident woke, escaped the fire and died in the yard from breathing heated smoke and poisonous gasses.

36 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Care facilities have among the most vulnerable populations that are not capable of escaping a fire. This is why there are fire and life safety codes that provide automatic protection. Report any noted deficiencies. Fire prevention is a team effort consisting of the staff, the maintenance director and the inspector.

37 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Building Construction Building materials and construction design can slow the spread of fire and smoke.

38 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Doors 3 hour door 20 minute door Closed doors stop the spread of smoke and provide a fire stop.

39 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Doors - Ensure that fire-rated doors are maintained in good repair. Crack in Glass Excessive Gap Damage to door integrity Must close and latch in fire conditions

40 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Doors - Regularly test delayed egress door devices to ensure proper function and release.

41 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Means of Egress Components Provide a safe exit route in the event of an emergency. 1. Exit Access 2. Exit 3. Exit Discharge

42 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Emergency Lighting Provides illumination of egress and exiting. Burned out exit lights should be reported to maintenance or supervisory staff.

43 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Maintain a written log of monthly 30 minute generator runs, under load.

44 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Corridors Keep corridors clear of obstructions for a quick evacuation in case of emergency. Have a plan to quickly remove in use obstructions such as patient lifts, laundry carts, etc.

45 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Smoke Compartments Smoke Compartments are designed to limit the spread of smoke and contain it to just one compartment of the building.

46 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Smoke and Fire Barriers Check above suspended ceilings to ensure that fire walls have not been breached. Repair all fire wall penetrations promptly.

47 Lesson 1 - Fire Protection Features of Fire Protection Attics - Check attic area fire walls for damage, penetrations, or unsecured openings.
