Abstract
This guide is developed to provide definitions, explanations, and background information for the application of Table 1-Safety parameter values for both large overnight accommodations and dormitory facilities as defined in the accompanying worksheets and glossary. It also provides, through expanded text and illustrations, suggestions for the reasonable and intended uniform application of the evaluation system, and to clarify and describe terminology in fire safety parameters which may be unfamiliar to the user. The desired result of this guide is for the user to evaluate the parameters as described in the Fire Safety Evaluation System to existing park service accommodations.
