EMMITSBURG, MD — The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) issued a special report today examining the characteristics of civilian fire fatalities in residential buildings. The report, Civilian Fire Fatalities in Residential Buildings (PDF, 1.0 Mb), was developed by USFA's National Fire Data Center and is based on 2007 to 2009 data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).
Vision 20/20 sponsored the first national symposium to showcase successful efforts in all areas of fire prevention that have potential for reducing fire loss in communities throughout the United States. More than 150 individuals with experience in managing local and state fire prevention activities participated June 28-29 in Baltimore, Maryland. This included representatives of 39 states and the District of Columbia. Two members of California Fire Chiefs’ Association Fire Prevention Officers’ Section, Morgana Yahnke and Doug Dupree, were chosen as representatives for the state of California.
