About Me

Fire doors are sometimes rendered unable to provide the listed fire resistance, whether by ignorance of the intended use and associated restrictions and requirements, unwise actions, or apathy on the part of their users. For example, fire doors are sometimes blocked open, or carpets are run through them, which would allow the fire to travel past the fire barrier in which the door is placed. The door's certification markings are displayed both on the door leaves and the fire door frames, and should not be removed or painted over. Such neglect is the responsibility of the building owner, who should educate occupants on the safe use of all safety related items, to ensure fire safety and compliance with the fire code.

Heroes:

I don't really believe in the concept of a Hero. I think the concept of heroism is flawed, in that we tend to acknowledge the Hero or Heroine in and of themselves, when it is in fact the deeds and accomplishments that are worthy of devotion and admiration. Credit where credit is due, of course: I can admire anyone who does great and noble things, but I am uncomfortable having a "Hero". In the end, it seems a bit too much like a way to relieve oneself of the burden of trying to accomplish great things on your own.
