Aviation-Related Wildland Firefighter Fatalities — United States, 2000–2013
Airplanes and helicopters are integral to the management and suppression of wildfires, often operating in high-risk, low-altitude environments. To update data on aviation-related wildland firefighting fatalities, identify risk factors, and make recommendations for improved safety, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed reports from multiple data sources for...
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...
متن کاملAn investigation into the use of Class A fire- fighting foams to control the spread of whirling disease by wildland fire-fighting activities
Whirling disease is a serious problem that impacts wild and hatchery salmonid stocks across the globe. Whirling disease is caused by a microscopic parasite, Myxobolus cerebralis, with a complex life history involving both salmonid and oligochaete worm hosts. In this study, we investigated the capability of wildland firefighting foams to inactivate M. cerebralis by indirect methods. Specifically...
متن کاملAcute upper and lower respiratory effects in wildland firefighters.
OBJECTIVES To assess acute respiratory effects experienced by wildland firefighters. METHODS We studied two Interagency Hotshot Crews with questionnaires, spirometry, and measurement of albumin, eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) as indicators of inflammation in sputum and nasal lavage fluid. Assessments were made preseason, postfire, and postseason. RESULTS Fift...
متن کاملImpact of Different Personal Protective Clothing on Wildland Firefighters' Physiological Strain
Wildfire firefighting is an extremely demanding occupation performed under hot environment. The use of personal protective clothing (PPC) is needed to protect subjects from the thermal exposure. However, the additional use of PPC may increase the wildland firefighters' physiological strain, and consequently limit their performance. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of four differe...
