Model Performance Measures 

The purpose of this project was to outline potential model performance measures for local, state, and national fire prevention program managers. The goal was to begin reporting fire prevention efforts in a consistent enough fashion to allow for legitimate program comparison and the establishment of both baseline performance measures and benchmark standards. Download PDF 220kb

Legacy Documents

A key part of the Vision 20/20 project was identifying where we had been over the past century or so of fire safety.  NFPA conducted a literature research and identified documents relating to fire prevention and compiled a list that is available for download.
