Subject: [DCHAS-L] Origin of the RACE/PASS acronyms for fire response?

I had an inquiry from someone who was interesting in promoting his own alternative to the familiar RACE/PASS mnemonic that some places use for fire emergency response:


RACE - Rescue, Alarm, Confine, Extinguish.

PASS - Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze handle, Sweep side to side.

Does anyone know the origin of the RACE/PASS system? Who came up with it or first promoted it?

Thanks,

Rob Toreki
