Florida Fire Districts partner with the Florida Fire Marshals & Inspectors Association (FFMIA.com), and with private industry to produce a state-wide informational video aimed at educating commercial building owners regarding the Aldridge-Benge Firefighter Safety Act. The act became law on December 13, 2009, and requires the owners of commercial, industrial, and multi-unit residential buildings (three or more units) in Florida to be marked with an emblem to warn firefighters of the use of lightweight floor and roof trusses, which are prone to early collapse under fire conditions. The act was named in the memory of two Orange County (FL) firefighters who were killed in the collapse of a gift shop that was constructed of such components.
