Predicting Wildland Fire Policy Support
Theoretically grounded empirical models can improve our understanding of public support for (or opposition to) wildland fire policies. Based on the specificity principle (general to specific versus specific to specific variable associations), we empirically examined the influence of three sets causal influences (general socio-demographics, general situational indicators, specific psychological ...

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Among the various hazards fire fighters face are electrical hazards during wildland fire suppression activities. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that 10 fire fighters died from contact with electricity during wildland fires between 1980...
متن کاملWildland Fire Prediction
Acknowledgments Firstly, I want to thank to my colleagues from DACSO. The help given by them always has been very useful. Thanks to Baker and Mónica for her participation in the experiments, and to Xiao for saving me when I was in a tight spot (talking in scientic terms). I also would like to thank to Ana Cortés and Tomàs Margalef for their corrections and guidance. Thank to Emilio Luque for hi...
متن کاملReducing the Wildland Fire Threat to
Understanding how ignitions occur is critical for effectively mitigating home fire losses during wildland fires. The threat of life and property losses during wildland fires is a significant issue for Federal, State, and local agencies that have responsibilities involving homes within and adjacent to wildlands. Agencies have shifted attention to communities adjacent to wildlands through pre-sup...
متن کاملAGENT - BASED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF WILDLAND FIRE SUPPRESSION Xiaolin
Simulation of wildland fire suppression is useful to evaluate deployment plans of firefighting resources and to experiment different fire suppression strategies and tactics. Previous work of fire suppression simulation uses analytical models based on a continuous space. This paper presents a design of fire suppression simulation using a discrete event agent model based on a discrete cellular sp...
