In ____ the National Association of Fire Engineers met in Richmond, Virginia. From this meeting came the idea to draft the first National Electric Code.
Correct Answer:
1881
Explanation:
The idea for a national electrical safety standard began in 1881. At the National Association of Fire Engineers’ meeting in Richmond, Virginia, fire engineers recognized that increasing electrical installations were creating hazards and fires, so a uniform set of wiring rules and safety practices was needed nationwide. That realization started the effort to draft a national code, which ultimately led to the first National Electrical Code (first edition published later in 1897). The other dates don’t fit because they don’t correspond to the initiating meeting that sparked the code’s creation.
