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. Data can help departments focus training for their particular geography and population, justify budget needs, allocate resources, and provide better coverage. Kansas continues to increase its total reporting fire departments and 75% of fire departments reported at least once during 2013. Of those, 31% reported at least one report for each month. When examining the statistics and information contained in this report, refer to the comprehensive Appendix A: Reporting History for a complete reporting breakdown for each fire department. All statistics were current as of 12/12/2014. Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge. -Plato Kansas Population Map Kansas Homeland Security Regions To maintain clarity among different entities, the Kansas Fire Incident Reporting System utilizes the same regions as the Homeland Security regions.

(Photo credit: American Red Cross) Opposite Page: Painting of Harris Fire by Kate Dore, based on photo by Wes Schultz. 2 Introductory Statement In October of 2007, a series of large wildfires ignited and burned hundreds of thousands of acres in Southern California. The fires displaced nearly one million residents, destroyed thousands of homes, and sadly took the lives of 10 people. Shortly after the fire siege began, a team was commissioned by CAL FIRE, the U.S. Forest Service and OES to gather data and measure the response from the numerous fire agencies involved. This report is the result of the team’s efforts and is based upon the best available information and all known facts that have been accumulated. In addition to outlining the fire conditions leading up to the 2007 siege, this report presents statistics —including availability of firefighting resources, acreage engaged, and weather conditions—alongside the strategies that were employed by fire commanders to create a complete day-by-day account of the firefighting effort. The ability to protect the lives, property, and natural resources of the residents of California is contingent upon the strength of cooperation and coordination among federal, state and local firefighting agencies.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

    2020 Annual Report

    2020 ANNUAL REPORT CHIEF’S MESSAGE January 2, 2021 It is our pleasure to present our 2020 Annual Report to the community. We are proud to report our challenges and accomplishments to you in this very unique year. At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, your Montecito Fire Department set a goal to maintain our ability to provide exceptional emergency service to our community despite the challenges presented by the global health crisis. Thanks to the commitment and dedication of every member of the organization, we achieved that goal. The organization suffered no staffing or service issues which enabled us to continue to serve this great community. We also strived to support the community in whatever way possible as residents, businesses, and visitors faced challenges presented by the pandemic. As I write this message, two vaccines are nearing emergency approval and we anxiously await the opportunity for our entire community to be vaccinated. We continue to collaborate with neighboring fire departments, community service organizations, and other local government entities. These partnerships provide the foundation to effectively address community issues together to the benefit of all. In 2020, the Fire District collaborated with the Montecito Association on an outreach project called Hands Across Montecito. This program helps connect homeless people to resources and find permanent housing solutions. Additionally, the Fire Chiefs Association of Santa Barbara County established a public safety task force to identify solutions to parking issues that impede emergency vehicle access and community member egress. The task force is also addressing how to mitigate homeless encampment fires and illegal dispersed camping.
