This book investigates the feasibility of developing a tool that
enables fire departments to estimate the value of their services to
a community in terms of environmental and financial impact. This
book provides a summary of this effort, which resulted in
development of a prototype tool for fire department use. The impact
of fire on a community is usually measured in terms of the number
of fires, human casualties, and property damage. There are,
however, more subtle impacts of fire that are not so easily
estimated but contribute to the measure of overall performance of
the fire service in protecting a community. While environmental and
economic impact assessment methodologies exist as separate systems,
they generally require a high level of knowledge that is outside
the scope of most fire departments. A relatively simple methodology
for estimating the environmental and economic impact of fires helps
communities understand the degree to which fire department
activities can benefit a community's environmental and economic
well-being. The scope and approach for this prototype tool is
explained, including risk assessment, cost benefit analysis, life
cycle assessment, integration and implementation, and sensitivity
and uncertainty analysis. It includes multiple case studies and
offers statistical support for future expansion of the tool. Fire
service professionals will find this a useful new approach to
presenting value in a community, as well as a method for examining
their own financial and environmental plans.
