Lyneham: A Case Study

Wildfires, more commonly known in Australia as bushfires, are a frequent and often devastating occurrence in Australian life. With bushfires come numerous adverse effects on an individual, and the country as a whole. Loss of life, property damage, water supply issues, and economic impact are all byproducts of bushfires. In fact, bushfires have accounted for over 800 deaths in Australia since 1851 and the total accumulated cost of damage is estimated at $1.6 billion. Because of these factors, bushfires have become an unavoidable aspect of life in Australia. This is an issue that greatly affects the lives of residents of Australia, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Prior to this trip, I was very intrigued by the medical field and although I did not have a set idea of my future profession, I knew I wanted to work in the medical field. Some of my friends who had taken this course before told me their experience at Sunnybrook and Lyndhurst, as well as how much of a great opportunity this was for anybody of any age. I had very high expectations, however, I was also very anxious because it was professional setting, and the situations were unpredictable. I could not believe that I would be visiting one of the major hospitals and the largest trauma center in Canada. The entire trip, from the introductions and presentations to the emotional stories shared by the people at the rehabilitation centre was engaging. The P.A.R.T.Y program aimed towards providing information to youth and motivating us to stop drug or alcohol abuse, as well as texting and driving since these were the main causes of motor vehicle collisions. Throughout the day we saw the trauma room and critical care unit, as well as presentations by doctors, first responders, and nurses. Then by the afternoon we had the opportunity to travel to Lyndhurst and hear about the experiences of some individuals.

Southport is an old city that has undergone many demographic changes while retaining the charm of an earlier time. It is a blend of old families whose ancestors settled in Southport or Brunswick County before the Civil War, emigrants that arrived at varying times after the Civil War, and new residents that chose Southport as a retirement location or found employment opportunities in the area.

Willingham was convicted and sentenced to death for the killing of his three children. Todd lived in prison for thirteen years before he was executed. I do not believe that his outcome was fair because there was not enough evidence to convict him, let alone sentence him to death. I would have understood if they would have convicted him and put him in jail for a couple years. But, to execute someone on the amount of evidence they had is wrong. I do not believe that he set the fire and I do not believe he deserved to be executed.

All too often in the Western U.S., we hear things like, "Fire danger is extremely high" or, "We are in a tinder box right now." By mid-summer, our surroundings 'dry-out ' and it seems conditions become perfect as we segue into a fifth season. Wildfire Season. Wildfires can wreak havoc! Millions of dollars are spent annually, preparing for Wildfires. Money is allocated for education, training, and preparing to fight Wildfires. Money is spent fighting them and protecting structures that might be in the way. Wildfires can be costly, but they also impact us in other ways. Wildfires tax our resources. They impact our structures and influence where we build and how we build. Wildfires affect our health, especially for those who have health concerns. Wildfires impact our weather and overall environment. Wildfires can even be deadly, impacting our communities.

The city is most vulnerable to urban fire, storm-water flooding, dam flooding, and extreme cold. However, extreme heat and cold are the city’s immediate concerns due to its concentrated urbanized population and measurable homeless. With extreme heat during the summer and cold during the winter being of significant concerns to the city, it is notable to highlight that the risk of urban fire ranks number one for several reasons. For instance, “In 2004-2009, the last year for which data was available, The Massachusetts Fire Incident Report System reported a total of 815 fires in Worcester. There were 4 deaths resulting from these fires, and a total of $35,370,024 in property loss” (CMRPC, 2012). Using these numbers as evidence, one can certainly confirm that urban fire is the top hazardous risk the city of Worcester faces in regards to economic risk factors. These fires pose an immediate threat to life, property and overall functionality of local

Norwich University’s mens lacrosse program continues to grow each year. The amount of student athletes that are recruited, accepted and retained becomes more and more and as that trend continues it is vital to add increased funding into the program. The additional recruits and student athletes dictates an increase in full time lacrosse coaches who can help support these young men.

Recently Northern California had deadly wildfires that caused homes to be destroyed. The rebuild could take years and there will be many difficulties along the way. There is a shortage of skilled labors who can help rebuild the homes and the materials needed to rebuild could rise. There is also concern that a shortage of supplies may occur. Northern California has very strict environmental and building regulations, but the governor has lessened these regulations in order to make the rebuild easier. Homes are being built in wildfire-prone areas, but are going to use new construction methods that are ignition resistant and resistant to embers. Builders want to build houses close together so construction can speed up by utilizing the

Arson is a serious problem in the United States, being the number one cause of all fires, the number two cause of fire death and the cause of over one billion dollars of damage every year. Webster defines arson as “ The crime of maliciously burning somebody else’s building or property or of burning one’s own to get insurance money.” Arson is thought of as an insurance concern, an invisible “paper lose” by the general populace, but for the firefighters who have been injured or killed responding to set fires and the hundreds of civilians killed each year in incendiary or suspicious building fires, arson looms as a significant issue that is anything but invisible.

The interactive map is actually available via the online journal Geology, published August 9th. This marks a first at creating an extensive, comprehensive map in the past 40 years. There hasn’t been a single attempt at such a map since the 1970s, which the University of Sydney has announced was drawn by hand.
