Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fire Safety Education Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Nation's fire losses are estimated at 5,000 deaths 
        and 29,000 injuries annually, producing an economic loss 
        conservatively estimated at $10,000,000,000 a year plus more 
        than $1,000,000,000 a year in health care costs;
            (2) sustained and targeted fire safety education at the 
        State and local levels, particularly in identifiable high-risk 
        populations, produces dramatic results in preventing fires, 
        fire deaths, and dollar loss from fire;
            (3) in recent years, the Nation's fire departments have 
        seen their fire safety education budgets cut dramatically and, 
        in many cases, eliminated;
            (4) there is a need to expand the availability of State and 
        local fire prevention programs and supporting resources and 
        materials to help State agencies and local fire departments in 
        carrying out effective public education;
            (5) fire departments in other countries with fewer fire 
        deaths per capita than the United States spend an average of 4-
        10 percent of their budgets on fire prevention, versus less 
        than 3 percent for United States departments; and
            (6) only by accurately collecting and analyzing data on 
        fire deaths, injuries and dollar loss can the Nation's fire 
        departments pinpoint the populations and regions where they 
        most need to direct their educational efforts, thus leading to 
        a more efficient and effective use of resources.

SEC. 3. FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION.

        regional or local fire safety and prevention programs targeting 
        high risk populations; and
            (3) at least 50 percent shall be used for awards of not 
        more than $10,000 for existing regional or local fire safety

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Arson Prevention Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that_
        (1) arson is a serious and costly problem, and is responsible 
    for approximately 25 percent of all fires in the United States;
        (2) arson is a leading cause of fire deaths, accounting for 
    approximately 700 deaths annually in the United States, and is the 
    leading cause of property damage due to fire in the United States;
        (3) estimates of arson property losses are in the range of 
    $2,000,000,000 annually, or approximately 1 of every 4 dollars lost 
    to fire;
        (4) the incidence of arson in the United States is seriously 
    underreported, in part because of the lack of adequate 
    participation by local jurisdictions in the National Fire Incident 
    Reporting System (NFIRS) and the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) 
    program;
        (5) there is a need for expanded training programs for arson 
    investigators;
        (6) there is a need for improved programs designed to enable 
    volunteer firefighters to detect arson crimes and to preserve 
    evidence vital to the investigation and prosecution of arson cases;
        (7) according to the National Fire Protection Association, of 
    all the suspicious and incendiary fires estimated to occur, only 
    \1/3\ are confirmed as arson; and
        (8) improved training of arson investigators will increase the 
    ability of fire departments to identify suspicious and incendiary 
    fires, and will result in increased and more effective prosecution 
    of arson offenses.
