GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY
Responding to
the Responders
The fire department in Raleigh,
North Carolina, hires a full-time
psychologist to help firefighters
cope with the stresses of the job.
The department is among the first
in the state to take the step, an
important indicator of resources
nationwide being devoted to first
responder behavioral health.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY
Eye on Hot Work
Late last year, the town council of New Milford,
Connecticut, unanimously approved
a new hot work ordinance to ensure oversight
for commercial construction projects
and to prevent accidents involving fire,
such as a roof fire that occurred last July at
the town's high school.
ECOSYSTEM SUCCESS
GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY
Twin Parks
Aftermath, Part I
Prompted by the 2022 Bronx
apartment fire that killed 17
people, a bill introduced in
Congress and signed into
law late last year by President
Biden empowers the US
Fire Administration to help
local fire officials examine
major fires.
ECOSYSTEM SUCCESS
Sweet Harmony
In November, the Canadian
government established a
board to assume responsibility
for the development of
the country's national model
codes, part of a governance
change that observers say
is an important step toward
supporting the adoption of
harmonized construction
codes in Canada.
PREPAREDNESS AND
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
CODE COMPLIANCE
Sprinkler Shutdown,
Fatal Fire
A blind resident of a senior
facility in Tennessee died
in a December fire that
occurred the day that the
building's sprinklers had
been shut off so that systems
could be repaired
following damage caused
by a winter storm. The fire
had apparently started in
the victim's room.
ECOSYSTEM FAILURE
Twin Parks
Aftermath, Part II
Broken fire doors remained
open during the Twin Parks
fire and allowed smoke to
travel throughout the building
and kill residents far
from the blaze. According to
media reports, city inspection
records show that in the
12 months after the deadly
fire, city housing officials
issued at least 40 notices of
violation for malfunctioning
self-closing doors to seven
buildings wholly or partially
owned by the same investors
behind the Twin Parks
high-rise.

Off the Books
A tenant specializing in pyrotechnics
was not permitted to store fireworks in
a Florida warehouse that caught fire,
killing four people and badly injuring
another. County officials said they had
no idea the business was there, and
that no permit or business license had
been filed or approved by the county.
