Fire Protection System -
Location: Homeless shelter in Paris, Texas
Date: 2009
A 42 bed shelter housing 28 men caught fire due to ignition of a table
inside the
shelter that was piled high with donated clothing. More than 20 residents evacuated
the shelter as a result of smoke and flames after several men attempted to extinguish
the flames with pans of water. There was a heavy smoke condition in the shelter,
making it difficult to see and even more difficult to evacuate. Five men who lived on
the second floor were killed in the blaze. An investigation of the fire determined that

the building had no sprinkler system, fire alarms or smoke detectors. Records
indicated that the shelter hadn't been inspected for at least five years, even though
inspections were required on an annual basis. The shelter was used as a drop-off
point for paper products, rags, clothing, furniture and other material.
Lessons Learned:
Periodic Fire Department inspections
should be conducted as required
Excess debris and improper storage is
a fire hazard
Lack of fire prevention devices in the
shelter increases the probability of
fatal fires
Location: Homeless shelter in Bronx, NY
Date: December 7, 2012 and December 9, 2012

a small fire that resulted in no injuries and was quickly extinguished. The second fire
started when another child was playing with matches who also ignited a mattress that
had been stored in the building's lobby. Smoke and flames from the resulting fire
spread into the stairwell and the upper floor hallways. There were no building wide
alarms or hallway smoke detectors in the building to notify occupants of the fire. Two
building occupants tried to use portable fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire but
found them empty and inoperable. With the smoke and flames having filled the
hallways, many occupants tried to escape by using the fire escapes. However,
occupants reported that some of the fire escapes were broken, having missing steps
and jammed ladders. The fire resulted in four adults and two children being seriously
injured. It was determined that the mattresses that were involved in these fires had
not been properly removed from the building. Instead, they were stacked in the lobby
and propped against walls in common areas of the building. It was also determined
that the fire escapes were not in good working order, many of the fire extinguishers
were not operable, and that the building did not have a fire alarm or sprinkler system.
All of these factors contributed to the devastation that resulted from this fire.
Lessons Learned:
Excess debris and improper storage presents a fire hazard

Lack of a building wide fire alarm system will cause significant delays in
implementing a building evacuation
Fire escapes must be inspected to ensure that they are in working order
Fire extinguishers must be visually inspected monthly to ensure that they are
in working order
Homeless shelter in New York, NY
Date: August 28, 2012
A homeless shelter in New York City caught fire and required complete
evacuation.
The fire started when a lit cigarette left unattended by a tenant ignited a mattress on
the fourth floor. The fire was quickly extinguished by the building's sprinkler system.
One resident suffered from and was treated for smoke inhalation. Fortunately, the
fire was confined to a single apartment. The shelter had recently been fined more
than $45,000 by the Department of Buildings for safety violations, including a
violation for failure to provide sprinkler protection. Records show that the building
had seven active building violations at the time of the fire.
