The data collected and used in the formulation of this report comes from the fire departments throughout New Jersey that participate in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). Fire service personnel enter incident data into their fire department computer-based NFIRS database and, on a monthly basis, submit their data to the Division of Fire Safety. The Division receives the fire department data, processes it into the State NFIRS database and forwards the data to the Federal NFIRS database. We would like to thank the members of the participating fire departments. This report would not be possible without incident data. NFIRS Background The Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-948) authorized the National Fire Data Center in the United States Fire Administration (USFA) to gather and analyze information on the frequency, causes, spread, and extinguishment of fires, and on the number, nature and causes of injuries and deaths resulting from fires and on property loss. Fire Incident Reporting in New Jersey The data used in this report were provided by fire departments that participate in the NFIRS. The statutes that created the Division of Fire Safety call for the Division to administer a fire incident reporting system in accordance with N.J.S.A. 52:27D-25d.(d.). To encourage participation, the Division of Fire Safety provides reference materials, incident field notes, and training to fire departments. The incident data that fire departments submit to the Division is forwarded to the National Fire Data Center at the United States Fire Administration. The Division began implementation of NFIRS 5 in 1999 and all of the data used in this report is from NFIRS 5. NFIRS 5 is an all-incident based reporting system that captures the many different types of incidents to which fire departments respond. Please see pages 165 to 171 for a complete list of incident types. Picture courtesy of William E. Rieger, III Front cover pictures courtesy of William E. Rieger, III.

Data received has been processed into the State and Federal databases. Please refer to pages 130 through 146 to see if your fire department has contributed to the information in this report. Based upon incidents received, New Jersey fire departments responded 408,491 times to incidents in 2008.

  • Chapter 2 What's
    Chapter 2 What’s New Requirements §201.6(d)(3) and §201.7(d)(3): A local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval within 5 years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding. The 2014 Butte County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) contained descriptions of their planning processes, the risk assessments of identified hazards for the Butte County Planning Area and mitigation strategies for reducing the risk and vulnerability from these hazards. Since approval of this plan by FEMA, progress has been made by the County, the five incorporated communities, and two special Districts as participating jurisdictions to the 2014 LHMP on implementation of the 2014 mitigation strategies. As part of this LHMP Update, a thorough review and update of the 2014 County LHMP was conducted to ensure that this Update reflects current community conditions and priorities in order to realign the updated mitigation strategy for the next five-year planning period. This section of the Plan includes the following: ➢ What’s New in the Plan Update. Section 2.1 provides an overview of the approach to updating the Plan and identifies new analyses, data and information included in this LHMP Update to reflect current community conditions. This includes a summary of new hazard and risk assessment data as it relates to the Butte County Planning Area as well as information on current and future development trends affecting community vulnerability and related issues. The actual updated data, discussions, and associated analyses are contained in their respected sections within this LHMP Update.

These range from assistance for those who may have lost a job due to the disaster, to employers who are forced to shut down operations. Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance for Wildfire Victims Workers, and particularly self-employed individuals, who lost their jobs or had their work hours substantially reduced as a result of the recent wildfires in California can now apply for unemployment benefits under the Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program. President Trump’s federal disaster declaration opens the way to provide some financial assistance to those who were affected by the fires, but who do not qualify for regular state unemployment insurance benefits. That includes those in Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Orange, Sonoma, and Yuba counties who meet at least one of these conditions: Worked or were self-employed, or were scheduled to begin work or self-employment in the disaster area. Self-employed individuals in particular most often benefit from having DUA available.

  • A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Wildland Fire Program A Test of Adversity and Strength Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman NPS/J HENRY A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman, Principal Investigator National Park Service Cooperative Agreement Order #CA 8034-2-9003 Special Consultant: Stephen J. Pyne Research Associates: Lincoln Bramwell, Brenna Lissoway, and Lesley Argo Project Managers David Sproul, Michael Childers, and Daniel Holder i Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men. Seneca, Epistles ii Executive Summary The National Park Service’s mission, unique among federal agencies, has made its history of fire policy diverge from that of its peers. Federal fire protection began in the national parks in 1886, when the U.S. Army assumed administration of Yellowstone National Park. After the trauma of the 1910 fire season and creation of a civilian National Park Service in 1916, the new Service embraced the U.S. Forest Service’s policy of aggressive fire suppression. For almost fifty years, suppression was policy, a reality that only began to change in the 1950s. The Leopold Report, published in 1963, further articulated differences in the National Park Service’s mission with its call for parks to be managed as “vignettes of primitive America.” Following passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, federal agencies – including the NPS – were compelled to reassess their management plans in the context of the new law. Steadily, each federal agency found its mission redefined and its goals recast; this translated into a more diverse spectrum of fire practices, at once splintering the former unity of purpose that surrounded suppression while demanding new ideas and devices to reintegrate those fragmented parts.

Evaluating potential trade-offs among fuel treatment strategies in mixed-conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada. Ecosphere 7(9):e01445. 10.1002/ecs2.1445 Abstract. Fuel treatments in fire-suppressed mixed-conifer forests are designed to moderate potential wildfire behavior and effects. However, the objectives for modifying potential fire effects can vary widely, from improving fire suppression efforts and protecting infrastructure, to reintroducing low-severity fire, to restoring and maintaining variable forest structure and wildlife habitat. In designing a fuel treatment, managers can alter the treatment’s prescription, placement, and extent (collectively the “treatment strat- egy”) to optimally meet one objective. However, the potential for trade-offs among different objectives is rarely tested systematically in fire-prone landscapes. To evaluate trade-offs in mechanical fuel treatment objectives related to fire severity, smoke production, forest heterogeneity, and avian wildlife habitat, we used a cross-platform modeling approach based on spatially explicit modifications of forest structure data for a 7820-ha landscape in the Lake Tahoe Basin, California.
