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.
