Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is designed to arm the fire service and others with a statistical overview of the fire problem in the U.S. -- deaths of thousands of Americans each year, injury to tens of thousands, and destruction of billions of dollars in property -- that can motivate corrective action. It can also be used to select priorities and help target fire programs, serve as a model for state or local analyses of fire data, and provide a baseline for evaluating programs. Data was collected from the more than 13,000 fire departments that participate in the National Fire Incident Reporting System, and analyzed. One chapter focuses on deaths and injuries to firefighters.
Download or read book People Fire and Forests written by Terry C. Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years of drought and decades of aggressive fire exclusion have left North American forests at high risk for future catastrophic fires. Forest settings are a magnet for recreational opportunities and for rapidly growing residential developmentputting an increasing number of citizens and their property into the path of wildfires. Recordsetting wildfires initiated the twentyfirst century and motivated the rise to prominence of wildfire on the political agenda, prompting important and farreaching new public policy initiatives. To be effective, these policies must be informed by sciencebut that requires more than just improved knowledge about the physical and biological dynamics of fire and forest ecosystems. Social values, socioeconomic factors, demographic trends, institutional arrangements, and human behavior must also be taken into consideration by the agencies and individuals responsible for wildland fire decision making. The first book to integrate the social science literature on the human dimensions of wildfire, People, Fire, and Forests reviews current studies from this broad, interdisciplinary field and synthesizes them into a rich body of knowledge with practical management implications. Chapters in the book highlight principal findings and common threads in the existing research and identify strengths and gaps. They cover such topics as public perception of wildfire risk, acceptability of fire management policies, and community impacts of wildfire. Designed to make relevant social science information more available and useful to wildfire risk managers and policy makers, People, Fire, and Forests is also intended to encourage and guide further research into wildfire. By exploringthe theoretical and methodological issues surrounding human interactions with wildfire and describing the practical implications of this research, this volume provides an essential resource for students, scholars, and professionals.
Download or read book The Correlation of Flammable Liquid Residential Fires with Socioeconomic and Climate Factors written by Stephen Garth Nagel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past research has revealed socioeconomic factors, such as income and education attainment, are correlated with safety, in general, and personal safety, specifically. Narrowing the focus of safety to fire, research has also revealed the incidence of residential fires is correlated with socioeconomic factors such as family income, education attainment, and parental presence. Those fire studies involving more specific types of fires, such fires involving consumer products, household appliances, and other gas or electric products used in and around the home, have not studied the socioeconomic factors that might have been involved in those fires. Studies conducted in the past have revealed the quantity of these types of fires, but those studies did not attempt to determine if there were socioeconomic or climate factors involved in the fires. This research addressed this gap in the literature. This research concluded education had a significant inverse correlation with residential structure fires at the state level involving flammable liquids where the ignition source was a water heater. This research also concluded there was a significant correlation between parental status and residential structure fires involving flammable liquids. This research concluded income did not have a significant correlation with any of the fire variables using partial correlation. This study further concluded climate exhibited a significant inverse correlation with residential structure fires involving flammable liquids were the ignition source was a water heater or gas water heater. Prior research predicted climate (HDD) would have a significant correlation to the rate of fire incidents. This research concluded the climate exhibited an inverse correlation with some of the rates of fire incidents. It is recommended that education and the inspection of flammable liquid fire hazards should be improved in the home in the states having a low HDD such as in the southern United States. Those states with a low HDD exhibited a significant correlation between climate and the incidence of some types of fires. It is also recommended that fire prevention education be focused on single parent families. These recommendations are with the understanding that improved education and inspections may reduce the incidence of fires.

Download or read book An Analysis of Community Socioeconomic Factors and how They are Related to the High Frequency of Residential Cooking Fires in Nashville North Carolina written by Timothy L. Pope and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's changing and distracted society is at a much higher risk of experiencing a residential cooking fire than ever before. America's fire service has been bound by tradition for many years and the traditional approach of most fire service leaders has been to focus the departmental efforts, resources and time on reacting when events like a residential coming fire occurs. If fire service leaders are truly committed to the safety of their citizens, they will take a proactive approach in preventing events from happening and in preventing harm within their community. The problem was that the Town of Nashville had suffered a large number of residential fires due to cooking. The research and data proved that the citizens living within the Nashville community were almost twice more likely of having a residential cooking fire than U.S. citizens living in other communities.
