The new St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center located in Twin Falls, Idaho, has installed a state-of-the art fire detection system that integrates with other security and life safety systems to minimize disruptions to unaffected areas.

This video from FEMA helps students understand the fire risks associated with off-campus housing and the preventive measures they can take to stay safe.

Check out these action-packed shots of an emergency training event in Van Buren County, Mich., in which participants got to experience what it feels like to be in an overturned school bus as well as one filled with smoke. Submitted by Mark Niewoonder, transportation supervisor for Van Buren Intermediate School District.

This video from Silent Knight demonstrates how to silence and reset a fire alarm panel from your keyboard. All of the functions demonstrated can only be performed with the permission of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

While NFPA 72 is the most widely referenced document for installing fire system contractors, the codes and standards it contains are a distillation from a host of other influential organizations and governing bodies.

This documentary talks about the impact of nine fires that occurred on U.S. campuses in January and February of this year. The blazes occurred at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, Arizona State University, Portland State University, Hampden-Sydney College, University of Maryland College Park, SUNY Canton, Boston University, Suffolk University and Marist College. The video was produced by the Minger Foundation.
