The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) has partnered with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) "to research the types of behaviors and sequences of events that lead to cooking fires and develop sound recommendations for behavioral mitigation strategies that will reduce such fires and their resultant injuries and fatalities."

This Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Handbook is designed to teach communities how to develop an effective juvenile firesetter intervention program

Over an 11-year period from 1990 to 2000, more than 1 million firefighters have been injured, and 1,068 have lost their lives. This report focuses on the fatalities suffered by firefighters and other officials engaged in the suppression of fires over this 11-year span. The bulk of this report is in chronological order by the date of the incident that caused the death, and it reflects the individual's name, affiliation, and department. Summaries of the incidents themselves were unavailable for the years 1990-1993, but they are included for the next 7 years.

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) has partnered with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) "to research what types of behaviors cause smoking fire fatalities and develop sound recommendations for behavioral mitigation strategies to reduce smoking fire fatalities in the United States...."

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 formation of a functional and safe technical rescue team, whether single- or multi-discipline, requires careful planning, a large time commitment from the team members, equipment research and acquisition, risk analysis, training, and funding. This manual provides guidance on how to for a technical rescue team.

The objective of this study was to identify on-duty firefighter fatalities, occurring in the U.S. in 1994, and analyze the circumstances surrounding firefighter fatalities. They study is intended to help identify potential approaches that could reduce the number of deaths that occur each year. In addition to the 1994 findings, this study includes a special analysis of wildland firefighting fatalities, which claimed an unusually high number of lives this year, and an analysis of risk management and recognition in the fatal incidents.

This project was carried out by the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) and was supported by the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) Science and Technology Directorate and the United States Fire Administration (USFA). SFPE is an engineering association for advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering. Water supply is an important subject to the fire service, fire protection engineers, and city managers. These manuals (volumes I & II) are intended to provide a reference for concepts and terminology to facilitate communication and understanding among these organizations.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the circumstances surrounding fire fighter fatalities in the United States in 1986 in an attempt to identify potential means for reducing the number of deaths that occur each year. In addition to the 1986 findings, this study will also include special analyses of particular recurring scenarios, using NFPA's data base of fire fighter fatalities from 1977 through 1986.

The purpose of this report is to identify key concerns regarding the hazards of firefighter training and to explore how the training hazards have changed and helps fire departments reduce these hazards by offering suggestions based on the experiences of the study participants.

This handbook is designed to serve as a compendium of basic information about the tools and techniques of fire investigation.

A literature-based study was conducted at the Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, to compare characteristics and usage of steel, copper, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride and polybutylene fire sprinkler pipe primarily related to residential and light hazard installations. This report addresses key variables such as material properties, usage criteria and limitations, system design, installation requirements, economics, and maintenance.

The purpose of this manual is to assist fire service leaders in examining the future, the role of the fire service in that future, and ways to "get there from here." It is designed to provide a fire chief, a public information officer, and other leaders in the fire service with guidance and tips on marketing a department and its services to the local customers: the citizens and organization served gy the department
