"Keeping Fire Safety Proactive Not Reactive"

Campus Fire Safety is a group of fire safety professionals, training specialists, and educators who specialize in "fire & life-safety" programs including onsite consulting and training & education. Our end users are; Colleges, Universities, Public & Private School Districts, Parents & Students, Greek Housing, Fire & Emergency Responders, Government Agencies, and Large Businesses & Corporate Campuses.

Every Student Goes Home!
Every year we take on new initiatives and support various projects. As you start winding down this academic school year many students are preparing to move "off campus" and seek housing arrangements for the next step in their lives. I want to turn our focus and efforts on creating an environment free from the dangers of fire, and fire related injuries & fatalities to our nations future.

One of the goals all educational institutions have across the world is that at the end of the school year - Every Student Goes Home!

Our new slogan and goal is a combined effort for unified safety on and off campus through education and an educational dialog between students, parents, campus administrators, housing officials (both on and off campus) and the local fire department.

Join us in the efforts to create a unified nationally accepted plan for protecting our students.

If you have an interest in volunteering and supporting our efforts as part of our technical team, we are currently recruiting subject matter experts and corporate sponsorship to develop this national campaign and to work on our off campus fire death taskforce. Please e-mail Randy Hormann (info below) with your desire to participate and please include a small bio and or resume.

Task-Force on “Off Campus Fire Related Deaths”
As part of our "Every Student Goes Home" Campaign - We are working hard to develop a taskforce on “Off Campus Fire Related Deaths”. Within the next few months, we will be moving forward with an expert panel of fire safety professionals from across the country to develop a strategic plan to help reduce off campus housing fire deaths. Once completed, there will be a website to view all of our research information, and to obtain training tools. A number of professional organizations including the US Fire Administration have agreed to partner with us in this endeavor.

Fatal Fires on Campus

Unfortunately, we have experienced and suffered a number of fire tragedies involving college students both on and off campus. Many of these deaths could have been prevented. We ask you to help empower those around you to adopt fire-safety habits and education for students, parents, campus administrators, those who regulate on campus housing and those who rent to students off campus.

Federal Law - Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act
Signed into law by then President Bush; this law is designed to increase fire safety awareness on college/university campuses across the nation by providing students and their families with the fire safety records of colleges/universities. This act was designed to require post-secondary institutions to publicly display fire safety information and statistics, much as they already do with other safety statistics, such as campus theft and assault. This information would inform prospective and current students of the policies, concerns and fire safety conditions that are present at the institution in which they have applied or are enrolled.

Through the educational division, we can assist your institution in managing reporting requirements and provide audits to ensure compliance with this federal law. Please contact us to set up an appointment to discuss how we can assist you.
