TR-151 the Danvers Butchery Meat Market and Cold Storage
U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series The Danvers Butchery Meat Market and Cold Storage Danvers, Massachusetts USFA-TR-151/January 2004 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion T for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are devel- oped to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announce- ments of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the assistance and presence of the USFA would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting. -
Global Response R5: Wildfire Protection and Evacuation Overview the Fire Protection Plan (FPP) Discloses That the Project Site
Response to Comments – 2019 Recirculated Draft EIR Global Response R5: Wildfire Protection and Evacuation Overview The Fire Protection Plan (FPP) discloses that the project site is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). Specifically, page 2 states that “code compliance is an important component of the requirements of this FPP, given the project site’s wildland/urban interface (WUI) location that is within an area statutorily designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by CAL FIRE (FRAP 2015).” Due to its location in a VHFHSZ, the Proposed Project is required to provide for a specified level of planning, ignition resistant construction, access, water availability, fuel modification, and construction materials and methods that have been developed specifically to allow safe development within these areas. Due to the Project Area’s location within a VHFHSZ, a Fire Protection Plan (Draft EIR, Appendix C-21), The Otay Ranch Resort Village Fire Protection Plan (Recirculated EIR, Appendix D-21), and The Fire Protection Plan Supplemental Analysis Otay Ranch Resort Village 13 – Alternative H have been prepared for the Proposed Project. The San Diego County Fire Authority (SDCFA) has reviewed the Proposed Project’s Fire Protection Plan and accepted it on October 2, 2018. The Conceptual Wildland Fire Evacuation Plan was reviewed and input was provided in September 2018 by SDCFA. SDCFA does not “accept” evacuation plans. Collectively, the Fire Protection Plan and Wildland Fire Evacuation Plan address several important aspects, including fire history, fire behavior modeling based on site vegetation and climate, project design, compliance with applicable fire codes, and emergency evacuation. -

Water Tender and Engine Typing NWCG/NIMS/FIRESCOPE Changes November 2012
FIRESCOPE Task Force January 1, 2013 TO: California Fire Service CHARLES BUTLER, Chair Battalion Chief Los Angeles FD FROM: Kim Zagaris, Chief/California Emergency Management Agency, KIRK WELLS, Vice- Chair Battalion Chief, Orange Executive Coordinator/FIRESCOPE County Fire Authority BRAD DARBRO, Secretary RE: NWCG and NIMS Equipment Typing Changes Battalion Chief, Santa Clara County FD STEVE WINTER On June 5, 2008, the National Wildland Coordinating Group distributed a memorandum, detailing changes Battalion Chief Ventura County FD adopted to the national standards for the typing of engines and water tenders. This information was widely distributed to the California fire service, through the Regional and Area coordinators to ensure that the MIKE LOCOCO changes were universally known. Assistant Chief, Cal EMA, Fire and Rescue Branch Subsequent to this, it was determined by FIRESCOPE during the actions to revise the FIRESCOPE Field WOODY ENOS Division Chief, Santa Barbara Operations Guide (FOG), ICS 420-1, that some differences were noted to the ability of water tenders in County FD California to meet these standards. During several review sessions by the FIRESCOPE Task Force, DAVE STONE meetings of the Operations Team, and meetings of the Board of Directors, these differences were identified Assistant Chief, Los Angeles and noted by footnoted asterisk in the equipment typing charts within Chapter 13 of the 2012 FOG Guide. County FD SEAN FRALEY The decision by NWCG to split the typing of water tenders into Tactical and Support categories is based on Battalion Chief a sound rationale and further helps to define their roles between tactical/line functions and non- Kern County FD tactical/support functions.
