On today’s episode of Historical, Lest We Forget, host Lillian Cauldwell examines how Massachusetts is re-evaluating Assisted Living fire protocols after a series of tragic events.Last year, one care facility was engulfed in flames when two visiting rabbis used fire torches to ritually cleanse a kitchen for Passover—without prior consultation or permission.The incident caused multiple injuries and severe burns, triggering a federal response.Since then, emergency agencies have implemented strict Assisted Living fire protocols alongside facility directors and first responders to prevent future miscommunications. But even with those changes, Massachusetts officials are now taking a deeper look.New concerns have emerged, and policymakers are asking: Are the current Assisted Living fire protocols enough? What additional updates are needed to address cultural practices, training gaps, or overlooked safety risks?Lillian Cauldwell urges listeners to reflect on how we safeguard vulnerable populations—and why constant review and adaptation of protocols are essential. 📌 What are your thoughts on safeguarding our vunerable population?📣 What’s your take?
