In the past 30 days, 65 people have been killed, with over half of them being children. Compounding these tragedies is that so many of these fires are probably preventable with fire safety practices that we all know.

For many years, fire departments have been doing fire prevention activities, so the question arises as to why do these fires keep happening? What are we doing wrong?? What do we need to do differently to reach people?

This podcast includes experts who discuss the importance of prevention, detection and suppression and some time-tested and new and creative ideas that can be used in reaching the different demographics that make up communities across the country. The panel includes Heather Caldwell (Kiddie), Judy Comoletti (National Fire Protection Asccociation), Ben May (Disney), Ozzie Mirkhah (Las Vegas Fire & Rescue); Peg Paul (Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition); Alan Shuman (National Association of State Fire Marshals) and is hosted by Ed Comeau (Campus Firewatch)

Fire Department and currently a liason with the Mutual Aid System Task Force for IAFC. (18 Minute Interview: Listen in Player or 16MB Download MP3)

DALLAS — The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) held a press conference at Fire-Rescue International at the Dallas Convention Center, Dallas, Texas, Friday, to announce the launch of a new publication, A National Mutual Aid System for the Fire Service: A Strategic Vision (MASTF). The strategic plan was developed by the IAFC Mutual Aid System Task Force and is a first-of-its-kind resource for the fire service.

Chief William D. “Bill” Killen, CFO, IAFC President 2005-2006, spoke at the press conference of the underlying reason for this system; “In the aftermath of Katrina and Rita, the IAFC recognized the need to do a better job of organizing and deploying our resources in disasters.”

One could ask the question, why bring equipment and responders from New York City to New Orleans days after they were initially needed when a national mutual aid system with an inventory database, if it had been in place, could dispatch the same from neighboring states in hours?
