The NFPA Section Forum has been developed as a service to NFPA Members. The messages and responses posted do not necessarily reflect the views of NFPA, but are those of the author.

Section seeking members
The Lodging Industry Section is seeking section members to fill several vacancies on its executive committee. The executive committee meets annually at the NFPA Conference and Expo and periodically holds teleconference meetings to discuss fire and other safety issues of interest to the lodging industry. The executive committee also plans section-sponsored educational sessions for the WSCE. For more information on serving on the executive committee, please contact section executive secretary Gregory Harrington .

Resources for additional information
NFPA’s Fire Analysis and Research Division’s One-Stop Data Shop (www.nfpa.org/research) offers a package of statistics and published articles and reports about fires in high-rise hotels. NFPA members may download a number of these reports free.

Section 13, Chapter 10 in the 19th edition of the NFPA Fire Protection Handbook, Lodging Occupancies by April Leyla Berkol and Thomas G. Daly, describes some of the special fire safety concerns for these properties.

An NFPA video, Fire Safety: Prevention and Response for the Lodging Industry, teaches employees how to identify and correct fire hazards.

NFPA’s Hotel/Motel Fire Safety Brochure has tips for travelers.
