Learned From Fire Disaster

http://www.firefightercentral.com/history/learned_from_fire_disaster.htm

Extractions: Every once in awhile, we need to pause and reflect on who we are and what we stand for. As the American Fire Service pauses to celebrate an illustrious history dating back 350 years, let us reflect for a moment on some of the great lessons learned from fire. Some of our greatest progress has occurred just after someone's town was devastated or many lives were lost. This is not a recent phenomenon. The earliest recorded fire prevention efforts come from ancient Rome. It was surely noted after a major fire that something should have been done to prevent the disaster or at least, have somebody to protect the citizens. This may also be the earliest recorded uttering of the phrase, "How long has this thing been going on?" Rome continued to tinker with its fire forces. When the slaves who were serving as the firefighting force became unruly, the response was to form the equivalent of what we now term a fire department. Once again, this was a reaction to a problem.

http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/news/smokingdisaster_costs.html

Extractions: (SACRAMENTO, Calif.) Based on a worldwide study of smoking-related fire and disaster data, UC Davis epidemiologists show smoking is a leading cause of fires and death from fires globally, resulting in an estimated cost of nearly $7 billion in the United States and $27.2 billion worldwide in 1998. The study is published in the August issue of Preventive Medicine. Fires cause 1 percent of the global burden of disease and 300,000 deaths per year worldwide. Fire disasters destroy cities, families, workplaces, workers and wildlands and have an enormous impact on human health, the environment and society. Smoking causes an estimated 30 percent of fire deaths in the United States and 10 percent of fire deaths worldwide. Each year, over one billion smokers throughout the world light over 6 trillion cigarettes, creating a potential source of ignition from cigarette butts and from cigarette lighters and matches that fall into the hands of young children. In France, a single lighted cigarette thrown from a moving car in 1999 ignited a fire in the Mont Blanc Tunnel, a major thoroughfare between France and Italy, causing 39 deaths and over $1 billion in losses to the region. The Oakland Hills fire in California, in which a lit cigarette remains a suspected cause, left 10,000 homeless, destroyed nearly 4,000 dwellings and cost more than $1.5 billion. And in Texas City, Texas, the Federal Bureau of Investigation blamed a cigarette for probably igniting an ammonium nitrate explosion in 1947, causing the worst industrial disaster death toll in U.S. history. The explosion caused nearly 600 deaths, 380 hospitalizations longer than two months, 4,100 casualties, and damage to more than 90 percent of the cityÕs buildings at a cost of more than $4 billion.

The 4th International Congress on Burns and Fire disasters took place in Kosice,Slovakia, last September, with WADEM as a collaborating organization.
http://wadem.medicine.wisc.edu/insight32.htm

Extractions: A Note from the President In the afterglow of a convention it is always pleasant to recall its successes and to absorb the lessons that will drive the organization further with renewed vigor and dedication. This has been the case with our 9th World Congress, the results of which give us every confidence to look ahead to more years or meaningful work in favor or the disaster stricken and the acutely ill. While our scientific forum, Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, has been providing the professional community with technical and humanitarian information, the more mundane but no less important news can be gleaned in the columns of Insight. Both belong to you, and I would make a plea to all members to use these valuable media more often and with pride in one's contribution to our young science. Contributors also likely to become members, and here I again invite all those who are a part of WADEM to recruit new members, for, having assured quality we can enhance it with quantity. While not wishing to single out individuals, it is with some satisfaction that we welcome the Ministers of Health of two countries as new members.

Extractions: After the ¡§Disaster Prevention and Protection Act¡¨ was proclaimed, various government departments at different levels set up their ¡§Disaster Prevention and Response Council¡¨ to plan and supervise the execution of various tasks of disaster prevention. Moreover, when disasters happen, the main government officer at each level must establish its Emergency Operation Center, and convoke all relevant units to take necessary emergency actions and to perform integrated functions of disaster preparedness, response while building a complete disaster prevention and response system. In 2003, NFA utilized civilian resources in order to implement the tracing and controlling of isolated contaminants at home. In this assignment, NFA totally finished video-tracing and controlling 3,125 Level-A quarantined objects and issued 64 warning tickets. This assignment also involved 110,827 tracing calls to Level-A quarantined subjects, the issuing of 48 warning tickets; and 541,274 calls to Level-B quarantined people with the issuance of 344 warning tickets.

Extractions: Staff writer Don Leech's home borders the edge of the Prescott National Forest and would likely be one of the first to encounter a fire that would threaten all of Prescott, AZ. Leech has cleared at least 50 feet of the vegitation but wonders if it is enough.

The woods on the far side of the road have yet to be cut or burned. (George Watson / Staff photographer) PRESCOTT, Az. Here in the dying pinon (snake over first N or PINYON) pines just south of this ever-growing community of retirees and the wealthy, a teeth-rattling dirt road slices (cuts) a horizontal path (between) dividing the woods into two starkly different worlds. Clotted stands of trees and clumpy brush obscure the view north, where Prescott lies only a few miles away.
