Proposed Project
State of Pennsylvania Fire and Life Safety Public Education
Survey--New--Division of Unintentional Injury, National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project will involve conducting a statewide survey of
Pennsylvania fire departments to identify current fire and life safety
education programs, resources, and training needs. Survey findings will
be used to develop an inventory of programs and resources, and to
inform future training programs for fire and life safety educators in
Pennsylvania. In the United States each year, there are approximately
400,000 residential fires, with 14,000 non-fatal and 3,000 fatal
civilian injuries. In line with Healthy People 2010 objectives,
National Center of Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) works to
reduce and eliminate non-fatal and fatal injuries from residential
fires.
The survey will be conducted with fire departments in Pennsylvania.
The 2007 National Directory of Fire Chiefs & EMS Administrators lists
all fire departments in Pennsylvania along with their contact
information. Fire departments will be asked to complete a 35-item
survey either on-line or by returning a paper survey. It is expected
that 1,000 fire departments will complete the 30 minute survey, which
is designed to collect information on the scope and content of
educational programs and activities, training needs, and barriers to
fire and life safety education. An initial mailing (and e-mail if e-
mail address exists) to the fire chief of each fire department will
include a postcard describing the study and instructing them how to
submit the survey. Fire departments that have not completed the survey
and have not declined will be sent a reminder postcard and will receive
a follow-up telephone call.
There are no costs to respondents except for their time to
participate in the surveys.
