Safety Advocate Applauds Government Decision Mandating Installation Of Smoke Detectors In Nursing Homes

The nation’s older nursing homes were primed for fire disaster that finally happened—tragically twice last year—when fires caused deaths of elderly residents at homes in Tennessee and Connecticut. The reason for the disaster—the homes were exempt from having to install sprinkler or fire alarm systems.
