USFA Preparing National Public Awareness Effort:
New Effort to Engage Fire Service, Community Organizations, Residents
The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) is developing a new fire safety awareness effort that will bring the Fire Service, communities, organizations, and residents together to reduce the fire problem in America. The effort will encourage everyone to help reduce home fires and will provide users with one common message of personal responsibility and proactive fire safety: "Fire is Everyone's Fight."
The Fire Service Media Corps (formerly Quick Response Media Corps) and the monthly E-bulletin will be discontinued. USFA will still send you updates on this new, exciting initiative. Stay tuned…

Fire Safety and Prevention Spotlight:
How One Fire Department Gets Fire Safety Information Into the Community
Featured fire department: Kissimmee Fire Department (Kissimmee, FL)
Department contributor: Joan Robinson, Health and Safety Lieutenant
Outreach activities: The Kissimmee Fire Department participates in a monthly local access TV "safety spot," disseminates cooking safety fliers to participants at an annual food drive (co-sponsored by the fire department), and distributes press releases covering a variety of fire prevention and safety topics.
Now Available: New Interactive Map of Media-Reported Fire Fatalities
An interactive map is now available that allows users to create detailed reports of recent, media-reported fatal home fires and resulting fatalities. Reports can be customized using a variety of search criteria such as: date range, reported cause, victim details and whether smoke alarms were present and working at the time of the fire.
While the interactive map provides users with a way to access more recent fatal fire information, the data generated should not be considered complete. Most fires require a post-incident investigation that may take days or months to complete. Only at the conclusion of the investigation will relevant facts be determined. For this reason, the statistics found using this interactive map are only preliminary and should be viewed as such.
Access the interactive map with the following link: http://apps.usfa.fema.gov/civilian-fatalities/incident/reportMap
