The Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 was an attestation proclaiming fire as an undue burden affecting every American and presenting a public health and safety premonition of disproportionate dimensions. The law alleges the United States had the leading per capita mortality rate and property loss than any major industrialized nation as a result of flammable incidents. The S. 1769 legislation was passed by the 93rd Congressional session and enacted by the 38th President of the United States Gerald Ford on October 29, 1974.
