	Fire Safety
		Fire departments must also have the opportunity to improve equipment and update apparatus within their stations if they are to be effective during both good fiscal times and bad.
		The Station nightclub fire brought the issue of flame-resistant acoustic materials to the forefront of fire safety in recent months. Many places of public assembly in Massachusetts who regularly showcase live music utilize such acoustic materials without any objective means of determining whether these materials are fire-resistant, or worse, fire-stimulant.
		Fire companies may also be required to arrive at a fire without adequate numbers because many communities are not filling the positions given up by retiring fire fighters or losses from attrition.

	Rhode Island Fire Officials Dodge Jail Time By Framing Band Manager
		Far too often the fire fighter who “doesn’t make it in the field” is reassigned to a desk job, provided with a book case filled with codes and standards, and becomes a “fire expert” as soon as he knows where to open the rule book to the appropriate page.
		Whereas I was the first fire engineer to warn of the defective nature of the ionization type “smoke” detector, the barriers to fire sprinklers and many other corruptions in fire land, today there are many other highly qualified professionals who are going on record regarding the code conditions that are killers.
		The primary reason why fire deaths occur in homes today is because the fire officials have promoted a defective, near useless “products of combustion” device which really is not a smoke detector; and because they have covered-up the deaths so caused by claiming the problem is only dead or missing batteries.

	News/Features Beyond grief
		There was the only-in-Rhode-Island quality of how the Station was co-owned by Jeff Derderian, a reporter for WPRI-TV (Channel 12), whose cameraman, apparently gathering stock footage for a story about nightclub safety in the aftermath of the fatal Chicago stampede, taped the unexpectedly chilling tableau broadcast over and over on national television.
		Of the 300 or so people who were in the Station last Thursday, February 20, nearly a third — 97 — lost their lives and most of the rest — 187 — were injured, many of them critically, and left to face a long and difficult road to recovery.
		Understandably, the West Warwick fire, coming just four days after 21 were killed in Chicago, has prompted a nationwide focus on nightclub safety.
