In what year did the NFPA survey begin?

The NFPA survey began in 1977, marking a significant milestone for the organization in understanding and addressing fire and life safety issues. This survey has been essential for collecting data about fire incidents, trends, and the effectiveness of safety measures. The information gathered from the survey has helped inform policymakers, safety educators, and the general public about fire risks and prevention strategies. It allows for better planning, education, and resource allocation to reduce fire hazards and enhance community safety. The timing of the survey’s initiation in 1977 reflects a growing awareness and need for comprehensive data regarding fire safety, which was less emphasized in the preceding years.
