Six U.S. fire departments which had lost at least one multiple fire fighter fatality incident within the last 10 years were studied. The aim of the study was to examine the operational, organisational and cultural impacts [but not to critique individual operational details of any incident]. The report's goal was to provide information to departments and to fire fighters which might help them deal with the consequences of such events. Findings are summarised under the following: Impact on operations; Impact on safety consciousness; Impact on equipment; Impact on training; Impact on morale and productivity; Fire fighter aggressiveness [in fighting fire]; Impact of after-action reporting; Importance of preparedness; Media relations; Legal implications; Experiencing scrutiny; Crisis management and counselling; Providing support to colleagues and one's own family.

"This second edition of I Love a Fire Fighter is, like the first, intended to raise awareness of the psychological consequences of being a fire service family. It is my objective to describe the subtle and obvious ways the demands of this unique occupation spill over to home and to suggest strategies that you-as a parent, a child, a sibling, a spouse, a friend, or a significant other-can use to manage the spillover and/or learn to live with it"--

The Wildland Fire Incident Management Field Guide is a revision of what used to be called the Fireline Handbook, PMS 410-1. This guide has been renamed because, over time, the original purpose of the Fireline Handbook had been replaced by the Incident Response Pocket Guide, PMS 461. As a result, this new guide is aimed at a different audience, and it was felt a new name was in order.

This 14th edition covers the 10-year period 1995 to 2004 with a primary focus on 2004. For the first time, only native National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) 5.0 data are used for NFIRS-based analyses. The report addresses the overall national fire problem. Detailed analyses of the residential and non-residential fire problem, firefighter casualties, and other subsets of the national fire problem are not included. These topic-specific analyses will be addressed as separate, stand-alone publications.
