Fire Safety

I read “Firefighters Demand Safer Exits for Students” (May 17) with great interest. The article even prompted calls to the local fire department and the state fire marshal. Alas, the new law will do nothing to require correction of the unsafe situation my students and I face daily. I teach in a portable classroom with only one door and no windows.

I think it’s great that classroom windows will have to be equipped with “breakaway” grilles, but what about the countless students and teachers trapped in rooms with only one door and no windows? The state Legislature needs to correct this oversight.
