Fire Safety at Tufts University: An Overview
In August 2012, I was honored to begin my new career as the next Fire Marshal/Fire Prevention Officer for Tufts University. In preparing a ‘game plan’ for (my vision) of the direction of the university’s fire safety program, I set out on a quest to learn: (a) where we (Tufts Fire Safety Office [FSO]) currently are in our programs and policies; (b) where we need to be – at a minimum (to satisfy mandates and standards); and (c) where we should strive to be – in terms of seeking excellence beyond ‘minimum requirements’ in the world of fire and life safety.
