(Photo credit: Dan Elliot) The American Red Cross acted quickly to establish evacuation centers during the siege. (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.

    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.

Box 30636 Informational Letter Lansing, Michigan 48909-8136 Volume: 03-12 October 22, 2003 Subject: Homeland Security Program Overview Attention: Local, District and State Emergency Management Coordinators As stated in Governor Granholm’s Executive Order No. 2003-6, “It is necessary and proper to undertake all prudent measures to detect, prepare for, prevent, secure and protect against, respond to and recover from, any terrorist threats or attacks.” To accomplish this, Michigan has received several federal homeland security grant awards targeted in specific areas: first responders, emergency management planning, bio-terrorism preparedness, and infrastructure protection. It should be noted that the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) is designed to build a minimum level of capability in all first responders. The initiatives, goals, and objectives set forth in the area of homeland security span many functional areas, as written in Michigan’s Three-year Domestic Preparedness Strategy. The current funding available to local jurisdictions is based upon three areas: risk, population, and a baseline distribution. It is through the efforts of a multi-discipline representation from local and state levels of government that this strategy is written. The attached information includes local jurisdiction funding allocations, program descriptions, and timelines from 1999 to the present that is administered through the Michigan State Police, Emergency Management Division. Questions regarding local use of these funds should be directed to the sub-grantee county emergency management programs. Additional federal funds related to homeland security exist in other state and local department budgets, for example those available through the Department of Community Health: Public Health Preparedness and Response for Bio- terrorism, and Bio-terrorism Hospital Preparedness.
