  • 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.

Firefighters know it is a hazardous occupation. Firefighters know the only way to reduce the number of deaths is to change the way the firefighter (FF) operates. Changing the way a firefighter operates starts by utilizing traditional industrial hygiene tactics, anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling the hazard. Basic information and history of the fire service is necessary to evaluate FF hazards. An electronic survey was distributed to FFs. The first question was, “What are the health and safety risks of a firefighter?” Hypothetically heart attacks and new style construction would rise to the top of the survey data.

  • 5Th International Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference Portland, Oregon
    5th International Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference Portland, Oregon April 11-14, 2016 Oral Presentation Abstracts 1. Is It Time To Say Goodbye to Fire Rotations? Cecil Frost, Landscape Fire Ecologist, University of North Carolina Abstract: The idea of fire rotations goes back to widespread dawning, in the 1960s, of the realization that we had to get fire back into the woods. This was a part of a ponderous midstream turnaround that began with a few small voices such as H.H. Chapman, speaking against the unresistable tide of fire suppression of the early 20th century. Movement in the new direction toward restoration of fire gained way with early publications in the Proceedings of the Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conferences from 1960- 1966. The idea of fire rotations at its simplest was to take a natural area, say a 500,000 acre national forest, and if you had the resources to burn 5000 acres a year, start in one place, burn the next 5000 acres the next year and so on until you had reached the beginning. 500,000/5000 = 100 years to complete one rotation. This, we now can see, is a long term recipe for disaster. What we see from the most recent iterations of LANDFIRE—from Florida, through the central grasslands to the Palouse prairie of eastern Oregon and Washington—is that most of the U.S. was a non-seral landscape, naturally stabilized by frequent fire—the more frequent, the more stable. Within this fire system, recent maps show that local fire frequency at fine scales was far more complex than previously perceived.
