The Year In Review – Top Fire Law Stories for 2015
Follow @curtvarone
It’s time to review the top Fire Law stories for 2015. There is no easy way to determine which stories were the most important this past year, but Facebook gives us three pieces of information that offers some insights into which stories Fire Law readers think are most important based on three things: people reached, shares and likes.
The first top 20 is listed on the basis of “people reached”. It’s a statistic that Facebook provides to indicate just how many different folks saw a posting. It is not a measure of how many people clicked through to read the entire story, nor how many people liked or shared a particular story – although both liking and sharing stories tend to increase the “reach” numbers.
In terms of people reached here are the top 20 stories for 2015!!!
