Fire Safety in Schools, Past

Fire Safety in Schools, Past and Present

The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of strategic planning in any business, but most importantly in the prevention of fires in schools. The paper begins by discussing the values that are important to a school when it comes to fire safety, and then moves into why planning is so critical and can help save lives and property. Not only are standards and mandates discussed, but also the process of developing a mission and a vision for the business and creating a philosophy under which said business will operate.

The paper then moves into community threats and strategic issues and discusses how to create the ideal plans to protect children both now and in the future. The information provided throughout the paper is then compiled, and the creation of a written document that embodies all of these things is discussed.

The most important aspect of the paper is the identification of the problems that arise due to a lack of strategic planning in this area and how having a plan in place can make for positive outcomes and pleasing endings to the many stories that those who work in the prevention of fires in schools encounter on a daily basis.
