High Park Fire Case Study

The New York City Triangle Waist Company fire was a disastrous event that paved the road for Progressive Era reforms. A day after the fire, there was an article, “Death List Shows Few Identified,” published by the New York Times listing the identifiable and unidentifiable dead and the injured. Because of the revealed appalling working conditions and the gruesome deaths the workers came to, the reader now desires to join the Progressive movement for improved working conditions and factory safety. The historical Triangle Waist Company fire resulted in not only local factory reforms but national factory reforms as well as increased women’s rights. The “Death List Shows Few Identified” article provides a statistical representation and depiction

Probability sampling, also known as random sampling, requires that every member of the study population have an equal opportunity to be chosen as a study subject. For each member of the population to have an equal opportunity to be chosen, the sampling method must select members randomly. Probability sampling allows every facet of the study population to be represented without researcher bias. Four common sampling designs have been developed for selection of a random sample: simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling (Burns & Grove,

A construction worker was burned while he was working on a power line. The accident occurred at the Coral Ridge Country Club, which is located in in Fort Lauderdale. The Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue arrived on the scene around 12:11 p.m. Timothy Heiser was one of the people who was called to the scene. He stated the worker was electrocuted, and his body was burned.

Fire district 13 is located in the forested valleys and steep foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range at the base of Mount St. Helens. Access to our district, primarily reached by one main county road, is limited. With automatic mutual aid to neighboring districts with, major rail, and freeway- interoperability is key. Located above the Cascadia Subduction zone, Clark County is due for a catastrophic earthquake. The area that includes fire district 13 is a transitional zone between unoccupied forest land and human development. Being a part of the wildland urban interface zone puts us at a higher risk for wildfires.

The High Park Fire ignited West of Fort Collins, Colorado on June 9th 2012 and burned over 85,000 acres over the course of containment operations. It eventually became the third largest fire in Colorado history during a highly volatile and active 2012 burn season. Wildfires of this size can have high negative consequences because of the myriad of burn severities throughout the footprint of the fire. Monitoring and inventory protocols need to be established to help determine the effects that fires can have on the landscape and also steer natural resource recovery efforts. This paper will outline a comprehensive monitoring and inventory protocol over the next 30 years from the start of the

Wildland firefighers are hired by Forest Service Bureaus of land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U. F. Fish and Wildlife Service, Emergency Services, Fish and Game, and Fire and Rescue. Some local agencies also hire them where a large chunk of area within the city is covered by woodland. The employment would be for year-around or seasonal, which means the wildland firefighters will work only during the time when the probability of wildfire breaking out is high.

83 Archibald Street is at extreme risk in the event of the fire. The house has become hidden from street view due to a large, overgrown garden which poses significant risk. To worsen this risk, the building is largely constructed from wood along with a wooden side fence. Furthermore, chopped logs can be seen in the front yard which would make excellent fuel in the event of the fire.

On the night of 21st June 1979, nearly six months before the Hastie fire, Rosabell Fenton was preparing for bed when she saw a figure of a man stood by her front door. The figure moved away when he became aware that he had been seen. She was convinced it was “Daft Peter”, who she knew and had shouted at earlier that day as he was loitering on her porch acting

BAUGHMAN TWP. — The East Wayne Fire District Board of Trustees approved placing a 3.1-mill levy for fire operations on the November ballot during its Thursday meeting.

What made this location different than the other two locations was that it was set on private land rather than public land. The vegetation was dominated by sugar maple, with more red oaks than in the first site. The canopy was not as closed as the first location but still consisted of coverage of about 90%. Pleasant Mile Woods had less foot traffic than that of the Kettle Moraine State Park, being that it is a private land, and had more wind than the previous location due to the increase in farmland surrounding the patch of woods. The final location, Kohler-Andrae State Natural Area, is right off the shore of Lake Michigan and the part of the site which was surveyed was the woody area off of Black River Trail. Once again, this area was heavily shaded and dominated with sugar maple. This site had the most foot traffic due to the occurrence of more trails and surrounding lakeside suburbs along with having more wind than the other two locations. At each of the locations, square quadrats of 10 meters in length were sampled using a stratified random sampling technique. At each location, a total of 25 quadrats were analyzed leading to a total of 75 total

Severns was found guilty of starting the fire and was sentenced to seventeen years in prison. Prosecutors denied the ability of the aerosol cans to be the cause of the fire. However, after a video of aerosol cans bursting into flames was released, prosecutors admitted that the fire that took place in Severns gun shop could have been accidental. If the video was shown at the trial the outcome would have been different. Severns was offered a plea deal, but he refused the deal because he said he did not do it. I believe that Cameron is innocent. There is no where near enough evidence to prove him as guilty and the aerosol cans are very likely to be the cause of the fire. I do not think his outcome is fair, I believe they made a mistake for imprisoning

After receiving a grant from the Office of Juvenile Affairs, Camp Fire brought two new members to the team to foster the relationship with the Hispanic families as well as to increase their involvement in the different programs.

Two police officers in Canada were driving when they saw a deer jump in front of them. The officers investigated the incident, and they noticed that the deer did not survive the accident. They also noticed that the deer was pregnant, and the fawn inside of her was trying to kick its way out.

According to the Ron Dehart, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman, The Sierra Nevada fire has burned through 62,000 acres, approximately 97 square miles of territory in the last week. As of late Sunday, an unoccupied summer home, a trailer, and a shed have been reported to be wrecked in the fire. The speed of that the fire spread resembles what cold in a public school looks like. More than 2,700 firefighters worked through the night to resist the wildfire that blackened nearly 100 square miles of the northern Sierra Nevada Valley.

As stated above, the Baltimore tunnel fire was successfully managed, since there were neither serious injuries nor fatality. However, the general consensus from the fire aftermath reflection or lessons learned are that the city needed an upgraded emergency preparedness policy on hazardous spills and fires in enclosed spaces; in addition, the critics also called for an improved process and protocol for the dissemination of evacuation information to the Baltimoreans. Truly, had the cargo on board the derailed CSX freight train being hazardous, the outcome of the Baltimore fire would have been disastrous. The case studies depicted moments of near misses that could have resulted in fatalities or serious injuries had the fire been more threatening.
