In 2018, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) developed a framework, titled the NFPA Fire & Life Safety Ecosystem. This framework outlines and identifies eight components that, when working cohesively together, help to minimize the risk and assist in preventing loss, death, and injuries from electrical, fire, and other hazards. The key components are interdependent, if any of the components suffer a breakdown within the ecosystem, the result can be tragic.
After a tragedy occurs, the NFPA states the cause of the tragedy can typically always be traced back to a breakdown in the component(s) of the Fire & Life Safety Ecosystem.
