Data notes: These 20,000 fire departments reported building fires to the National Fire Incident Reporting System. The NFIRS system is voluntary in most states, and many fire departments do not participate -- for example, few California departments are listed here. On-time rates (percentage of fires getting a response within 6 minutes) were calculated by The Boston Globe. Only when a department reported at least 20 files was a rate calculated; you might choose a higher threshold. Individual fire departments can be listed here more than once, because they reported fires under more than one ID number. Information on the Boston Globe's investigation of fire response times is at www.Boston.com/fires, including an Excel version of this file. For a more complete spreadsheet with information on fires in each time period, send an e-mail to Bill Dedman, [email protected], with the word "fires" in the subject line.

(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.

    Humboldt County Fire Services

    Humboldt County Fire Services FIRE CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY Annual Report 2011 To: Humboldt County Board of Supervisors An overview of the Humboldt County Fire Service of 2011 The Fire Service in Humboldt County continues to grow in a positive direction, constantly working towards the goal of promoting county‐wide adoption of procedures and policies through the Fire Chief’s Association with input and regulation from the various groups with‐in such as the Training Instructors, Fire Prevention Officers and the Fire/Arson Investigation Unit. This positive and forward direction is an indication of the great working relationships that have developed among the various departments over the years, and that continues to improve, a feat that is not easy in such a rural setting. These relationships have allowed the fire agencies to foster a team approach both from an operational and an administrative stand point. The effort of forming fire districts for some of the volunteer fire companies with‐in the county, along with the modification of district boundaries in an attempt to provide a better system of protection for many of the Counties’ residents, continues with the help of the Fire Safe Council and County Planning with the support of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors. The Fire Chief’s Association would like to acknowledge their appreciation of that consideration and support from the Board. At the same time the Chief’s Association recognizes that the future of the fire service in Humboldt County is dependent upon the Board’s continued support. With fees now being levied by the State in the way of “Fire Prevention Fees” to the residents residing in State Responsibility Areas, there is major concern that funding for many of the rural departments will suffer which makes support by the Board of Supervisors a critical factor in their very survival.

    Wildland Fire Management: Uniform Crew T-Shirts Within Bureau of Land

    Wildland Fire Management: Uniform crew t-shirts within Bureau of Land Management Fire and Aviation Management programs By: Jeffrey L. Fedrizzi Oregon-Washington State Office of Fire and Aviation Management U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Portland, Oregon 2 Uniform crew t-shirts within Bureau of Land Management Fire and Aviation Management programs CERTIFICATION STATEMENT I hereby certify that this paper constitutes my own product, that where the language of others is set forth, quotation marks so indicate, and that appropriate credit is given where I have used the language, ideas, expressions, or writings of another. Signed: __________________________________ 3 Uniform crew t-shirts within Bureau of Land Management Fire and Aviation Management programs Abstract Uniforms help create an identity, pride in appearance, and an esprit de corps essential to an effective organization. Wearing a uniform affects individual behavior including self-discipline, integrity, and organizational ownership. This applied research project’s problem statement is Bureau of Land Management (BLM) policy neither provides for nor funds the purchase of fire crew uniform t-shirts. The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not agency-provided uniform fire crew t-shirts are necessary and, if so, what type would be most appropriate to recommend for a policy change within the BLM. The evaluative method of research was used for the following research questions: 1. What is the importance of uniforms within the fire service? 2. What are firefighters’ preferred materials for fire crew uniform t-shirts within the interagency fire service community? 3. What is BLM manual policy for general staff and law enforcement uniforms? 4.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,397 words (excluding abstract, table of contents, acknowledgments, bibliography and appendices). Statement of use of third party for editorial help I confirm that parts of my thesis were copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Naira Antoun. 2 Abstract This study explores the popular politics behind the main milestones that shape Nasserist Egypt. The decade leading up to the 1952 revolution was one characterized with a heightened state of popular mobilisation, much of which the Free Officers’ movement capitalized upon. Thus, in focusing on three of the Revolution’s main milestones; the resistance to the tripartite aggression on Port Said (1956), the building of the Aswan High Dam (1960- 1971), and the popular warfare against Israel in Suez (1967-1973), I shed light on the popular struggles behind the events.

    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.
