Abstract
This report is another of the NFPA's studies of fires having particular educational or technical interest. The information presented is based on the best data available during the on-site data collection phase and further data acquired through subsequent follow-up. It is not the NFPA's intention that this report pass judgment on, or fix liability for, the cause of injury and propety damage at the Howard Johnson's Hotel. This report describes fire safety conditions at the Howard Johnson's Hotel and presents findings on factors contributing to the serious injuries and loss of property based on the NFPA's analysis of collected data and observations during the investigation.
