Abstract

This study has been conducted to assess barriers hindering implementation of fire safety programs in selected secondary schools at Kinondoni municipal. The study focused on the influence of knowledge in implementation of fire safety programs, the contribution of resources availability in implementation of fire safety programs, the influence of leadership in fire safety programs. The study used knowledge-based theory and resources-based theory and adopted a research methodology which combined both quantitative and qualitative approach. It also used purposive sampling and 8 schools were selected to take place in the study. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Findings of the study revealed that majority of the schools examined did not have enough knowledge concerning fire safety programs; furthermore, they had limited resources committed to fire safety programs and finally the commitment of the leadership to fire safety programs was also at a lower level. The study concluded that the lack of knowledge, inadequate resources, and lack of committed leadership hinder the implementation of fire safety programs in secondary schools. The study recommends that the government and school owners should acquire enough knowledge, commit more resources and use effective leadership to implement fire safety programs in secondary schools in Kinondoni Municipality.
