NFPA 1917 Document Still Seeking Input

The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recently released a document that is open to public comment with regard to ambulance construction standards. The document itself, entitled NFPA 1917, will essentially replace the Triple K specification which has long guided the direction of ambulance construction. Whether or not the document will fulfill its purpose of creating safer ambulances, however, depends on the creative insight and input from EMS professionals on the document itself.
