am writing this column
following a very successful
NFPA Conference & Expo in
Las Vegas. Initially, my plan
for this piece was the same
as it had been in past years after the conference-to use this space to explain in words
what our association has been working on.
But I decided that a picture, and our
conference itself, could better explain what
we've been up to.
In my address at the general session in
Las Vegas, I described the Fire & Life Safety
Ecosystem, which illustrates that there are
a number of components that need to be
in place in order to reduce loss. For the
I

ecosystem to function, all of these cogs need
to work together. When tragedies occur, we
can point back to failures in one or more of
the cogs of the system.
The Fire & Life Safety Ecosystem really
resonated with our conference attendees,
many of whom felt that the ecosystem
model drove home the idea that the work
they do is an integral part of a larger
system. The ecosystem is the focus of our
association, and you will hear us talking a
lot about this going forward.
To learn more about the ecosystem, and
to watch my general session presentation
from Las Vegas, please visit us online at
