Bill > S1505

This bill aims to establish comprehensive fire safety curricula in both institutions of higher education and secondary schools in Massachusetts. The bill defines "institute of higher education" to include public and private postsecondary institutions, and "school" to encompass all public and private elementary and secondary schools, excluding colleges and universities. The curricula must cover a range of fire safety topics, such as prevention, different types of fires, smoke inhalation, and evacuating fire scenes, and students are required to complete an examination to test their proficiency.
