- Abstract
- Can the deaf hear smoke detectors? Do ambulatory patients find it easy to get away from fire, especially in highrise buildings? Can the blind keep their sense of direction in a fire? Can mentally retarded people be taught fire safety? Under the direction of Chief Sam Cooper, the Las Vegas Fire Department has found "yes" to some of those questions, and has implemented the resulting knowledge and technology.
