About the book… Dr. Clark challenges that society re-examine perspectives on fire fatalities. He calls for a transition to a more proactive fire safety culture focused on prevention and survival, for firefighters and civilians. This book serves as an actionable roadmap for stakeholders to reduce loss of life and property from fire.
It offers lawmakers, regulators and advocates constructive guidance on improving fire safety laws, prevention policies, public outreach, and upgrading fire codes. Dr. Clark’s extensive experience will prove invaluable for discussions and policy development around these pressing issues.
“Required reading for any lawmaker serious about upgrading fire codes and prevention policies.”~ Senator Anne Jones (D-CA)

BACKGROUND of Foundational Legislative Outreach Before ROC:
During Fire Prevention Week every member of the 114th U.S. Congress received, courtesy of FAMA/FEMSA GAC, a customized edition of Clark’s first book I Can’t Save You, But I’ll Die Trying: The American Fire Culture. Ex. Administrator Karen Burnham whose joint Government Affairs Committee hosted the project said, “Providing congressional members with important information on a variety of issues facing firefighters, elected officials, government leaders, public administrators, educators, and citizens regarding fire safety is a great first step in getting everyone thinking and talking about how to significantly reduce death and property loss by fire.” Members of Fire Apparatus Manufacturers’ Association (FAMA) and Fire and Emergency Manufacturers and Services Association (FEMSA) through their joint Government Affairs Committee (GAC) supported the 114th Congressional Edition.
DRIVING CHANGE:
Books were well-received, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, 30th Congressional District, Dallas, Texas wrote, “Starting a conversation on fire safety is crucial to helping save lives of firefighters and civilians; I appreciate the fact this book aims to initiate a meaningful dialogue on the American fire culture.”
