Every business has a stake in fire safety.
Some businesses make and sell products which pose potential hazards. Some make and sell products which protect against fire. Industry financial support has made it possible for state fire marshals to participate on fire code-making committees, attend educational seminars and workshops, learn new analytical skills, conduct public information programs and install tens of thousands of smoke detectors in disadvantaged homes. Industry technical input regularly improves understanding of the nature of the fire problem and the fire protection options available to address hazards. Relative sources of funding are shown here.
