NFPA History site

For it's centennial celebration the NFPA created a webpage of important dates in fire history. This list is by far not complete or all encompassing. The list does however contain some interesting facts. If you view the page you can note that the damage estimates are figured in 2003 dollar amounts. So, for example, if $1 million damage is done in 1903 it may equal $65 million today (not an actual estimate). There are a few disasters and big histroical fires that are not listed on this page but it can give you a head start on any paper or project you may want to research. The link 'NFPA History' on the right will take you right to it.
