  • TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BE
    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

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.

  • 2013 Kansas Fire Incident Reporting System Annual Report
    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.

  • Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice-Making
    Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice-Making A TSRC Working Paper May 2020 Stephen D. Wong Jacquelyn C. Broader Joan L. Walker, Ph.D. Susan A. Shaheen, Ph.D. Wong, Broader, Walker, Shaheen Understanding California Wildfire Evacuee Behavior and Joint Choice- Making WORKING PAPER Stephen D. Wong 1,2,3 Jacquelyn C. Broader 2,3 Joan L. Walker, Ph.D. 1,3 Susan A. Shaheen, Ph.D. 1,2,3 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering 2 Transportation Sustainability Research Center 3 Institute of Transportation Studies University of California, Berkeley Corresponding Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT For evacuations, people must make the critical decision to evacuate or stay followed by a multi- dimensional choice composed of concurrent decisions of their departure time, transportation mode, route, destination, and shelter type. These choices have important impacts on transportation response and evacuation outcomes. While extensive research has been conducted on hurricane evacuation behavior, little is known about wildfire evacuation behavior. To address this critical research gap, particularly related to joint choice-making in wildfires, we surveyed individuals impacted by the 2017 December Southern California Wildfires (n=226) and the 2018 Carr Wildfire (n=284). Using these data, we contribute to the literature in two key ways. First, we develop two simple binary choice models to evaluate and compare the factors that influence the decision to evacuate or stay. Mandatory evacuation orders and higher risk perceptions both increased evacuation likelihood. Individuals with children and with higher education were more likely to evacuate, while individuals with pets, homeowners, low-income households, long-term residents, and prior evacuees were less likely to evacuate.

  • TR-073 Floor Collapse Claims Two Firefighters
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series Floor Collapse Claims Two Firefighters Pittston, Pennsylvania USFA-TR-073/March 1993 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary T criterion 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 construc- tion 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 developed 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.
