    2013 Kansas Fire Incident Reporting System Annual Report What did the Kansas Fire Service do in 2013? Office of the State Fire Marshal Doug Jorgensen Fire Marshal 800 SW Jackson, Suite 104 Topeka, KS 66612 Phone: (785) 296-3401 www.ksfm.ks.gov Kansas Fire Incident Reporting System Kansas fire departments are required under K.A.R 22-5-1 to submit a report for each incident where a response is made by that fire department, regardless of the call type or actions taken on the call. Also included in the requirements are reports for any fire service casualty, injury or death, that occurs while acting in an official role a call, responding to a call, drilling, at the station, etc. Firefighter injuries caused by equipment failures are heavily scrutinized to continue improving the safety of our Fire Service. Kansas does not have a central repository of fire reports. Instead, reports received at the Office of the State Fire Marshal are uploaded directly into the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) housed at the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). Each year, the USFA releases the most comprehensive reference on the nature and scope of the fire problem in the United States, Fire in the United States. The agencies and departments participating in the NFIRS make the publication possible. In addition to publications, the data can highlight current and emerging trends for more than fires. A variety of different public safety groups use the information to drive improvements through regulation, creating better equipment, training, education, product recalls, and funding.

  • SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN
    SPOKANE COUNTY FIELD OPERATIONS GUIDE and SPOKANE COUNTY FIRE RESOURCE PLAN Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group ICS FOG PREFACE This Field Operations Guide (FOG) was created to assist emergency response agencies of Spokane County and the greater Inland Empire in the art of incident management. It is intended to serve these agencies by promoting a common all-risk Incident Command System (ICS). This document provides an incident management framework to meet an agency’s routine ICS needs as well as expanding to meet the demands of large-scale complex events, which by their nature, demand safe, effective incident management and multi-agency coordination. The Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group encourages agencies to utilize this guide as a baseline for managing incident operations recognizing it may need to be supported by additional agency specific policies and guidelines. The Spokane County ICS Field Operations Guide is compatible with and used in conjunction with the Spokane Area Fire Resource Plan, the Washington Fire Mobilization Plan and the Northwest Regional Law Enforcement Mobilization Plan to order and coordinate the use of incident resources. This document should be seen as a “work in progress” and as such will demand periodic review by the Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association and the Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group. Adopted: Inland Empire Fire Chief’s Association Inland Northwest Law Enforcement Leadership Group PREFACE i June 2006 ICS FOG THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK PREFACE ii June 2006 ICS FOG TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Common Responsibilities ............................................................................

  • 2017 Hamilton Township Fire Department Annual Report
    2017 Hamilton Township Fire Department Annual Report 1 Message from the Fire Chief “On behalf of the fire department members of the Hamilton Township Fire Department, I am pleased to submit the annual report for 2017. The report offers an insight into the efforts and achievements that the department has accomplished in the past year. The report allows its readers to gain an understanding of the services, and work we offer to our citizens and visitors.” Mayor Lovshin and Members of Council: I am extremely proud of the sixty men and women that comprise the Hamilton Township Fire Department. They are a dedicated, highly skilled, well trained, educated, and efficient group of individuals who care and protect the wellbeing of the residents and visitors of Hamilton Township. They consistently strive to offer a service that our community can be proud of. It is my belief that their efforts allow Hamilton Township to have one of the best fire services in the Province of Ontario. In 2012 the council undertook a fire services review. The goal of that review was to create a “Single Unified Fire Service”. This goal has enabled the fire department to focus and prioritize its efforts to achieve our overall objective. In 2015 council approved a fire department review update. The update concluded the fire department had made significant gains towards creating a “Single Unified Fire Department”. The review also provided us a number of work plan items and recommendations to work towards in completing our 5 year objective (2013-2018). The work completed and accomplished since the review has only been possible as a result of the volunteer fire department memberships willingness and support.

Obviously, this will be a lengthy process in terms of its not going to be one or two meetings. But I think it will be very good for all of us, the residents of the town, and for the people who both are career firefighters and volunteer firefighters. So I just want to first of all thank you. What I envision tonight’s meeting to be is more of a brainstorming session to flush out the issues that we’re going to need to address, flush out the items that will be in the ordinance or we may even have to do multiple ordinances to amend other parts of the Township Code.
