An Act relative to fire safety education in schools and colleges

This bill mandates that all public and private schools in Massachusetts require students to complete a comprehensive fire safety curriculum by the end of 10th grade, while also requiring colleges and universities to require such a curriculum for all students. The required instruction covers various fire scenarios, including prevention, cooking fires, electrical hazards, and carbon monoxide poisoning, and must be sourced from an expert provider. To verify understanding, students in both K-12 schools and higher education institutions must pass an examination demonstrating their proficiency in fire safety.
