- Abstract
- Unlike other boarding home fires investigated by the NFPA, smoke detectors and an automatic sprinkler system operated in this one, preventing serious injuries and deaths. The fire is significant because it demonstrates the importance that an automatic sprinkler system can have in improving the level of protection in boarding homes--occupancies with an identified fire problem.
