Hi Everyone,

Hope things are going great for you! I am putting some final touches onto my ARP, and decided that I want to augment my research with a fire service survey. I would really appreciate your input (see generic description below). The survey is especially relevant for those of you who have wildland urban interface fire issues in your jurisdiction. If there is someone in your department who is a better fit for this survey, please feel free to forward the link to them.

Thanks!

I look forward to seeing some of you in September.

Darrell

My name is Darrell Reid, and I am the Fire Chief of Strathcona County Emergency Services, in Alberta, Canada. As a component of my studies in the United States Fire Administration / National Fire Academy Executive Fire Officer Program, I have undertaken an Applied Research Project titled "From Reactive to Proactive: Incorporating Social Marketing Strategies to Facilitate Adoption of the FireSmart Program within the Strathcona County Wildland Interface."

In support of my research, I am asking representatives from the Fire Service in Canada and the United States for their perspectives on their department's role in the marketing and implementation of wildfire management programs. I am also collecting data on general fire department perceptions of wildfire mitigation and prevention programs such as FireSmart (Canada) or Firewise (U.S.), the barriers to adoption of these programs, and potential incentives which could increase their adoption.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this survey. It is estimated that the survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

Please note that the deadline for completion of this survey is Sunday, February 14, 2010, at 1800 hours Mountain Time.

If you have any questions or comments about this survey, I can be contacted at 780-416-7239, or via e-mail at re...@strathcona.ab.ca.

Sincerely,

Darrell Reid,
Fire Chief and Manager,
Strathcona County Emergency Services

Hi Everyone,

I have a request as well. My ARP relates to Pandemic response and I am looking for agency policies and procedures that relate to Pandemic/Epidemic operations as well as public education programs. If any of your agencies have them I would really appreciate a copy. If your agency does not have any procedures or if you rely on another agency to handle all or part of this I would appreciate a short note stating so.

Thanks in advance.

Darrel, I completed your survey. It looked like it really covered the bases for urban interface fire programs.

I will be at NFA in May.

Thanks,
Jerry Doerksen

Jerry,

I have forwarded this e-mail on to my Deputy Chief of Operations. He
has been handling all of our H1N1 stuff. You should hear from him
shortly.

Darrell,

Survey done. Funny we are doing almost the same project. I am doing a
comparison of NFPA 1144 and ICC International Wildland Urban Interface
Code (2006) version. My department is looking at trying to adopt one or
the other. Lots of financial impacts on our customers.

Stay safe.

I finished your survey Darrell.  What is Social Marketing? Is it anything like Social Security? ;-)  Good luck on your research

Jerry,

We are in the process of revising our Pandemic Plan for Strathcona County, and I will forward the final to you asap. In the meantime, our Provincial plan (and a summary of the plan) is available at http://www.health.alberta.ca/documents/APIP-Summary-Oct-2009.pdf

There is also a link to the Canadian national plan at this site, and to the Alberta Emergency Management Agency, who assist municipalities with plans.

Let me know if you need more info on these resources.

Darrell
