This report contains research on behaviors and other factors
contributing to the rural fire problem; identifies mitigation
programs, technologies, and strategies to address those problems;
and proposes actions that USFA can take to better implement
programs in rural communities. In the Spring of 2004, the U S Fire
Administration (USFA) partnered with the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) in a cooperative agreement project entitled
Mitigating the Rural Fire Problem. The purpose of the project was
to examine what can be done to reduce the high death rate from
fires in rural U S communities. Rural communities, defined by the U
S Census Bureau as communities with less than 2,500 population,
have a fire death rate twice the national average. The objectives
of the project were to a) conduct research on behaviors and other
factors contributing to the rural fire problem, b) identify
mitigation programs, technologies, and strategies to address those
problems, and c) propose actions that USFA Public Education
Division can take to better implement programs in rural
communities. Research sources included a review of the published
literature, some original statistical analysis, and information
from national technical experts who have worked with NFPA.
