fema.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public
Law 93–498 provides for the gathering
and analyzing of data as deemed useful
and applicable for fire departments. The
U.S. Fire Administration (USFA)
receives many requests from fire service
organizations and the general public for
information related to fire departments,
including total number of departments,
number of stations per department,
population protected, and number of
firefighters. The USFA also has a need
for this information to guide
programmatic decisions, and produce
mailing lists for USFA publications.
Recommendations for the creation of the
fire department census database came
out of a Blue Ribbon Panel’s review of
the USFA. The report included a review
of the structure, mission, and funding of
the USFA, future policies, programmatic
needs, course development and
delivery, and the role of the USFA to
reflect changes in the fire service. As a
result of those recommendations, the
USFA is working to identify all fire
departments in the United States to
develop a database that will include
information related to demographics,
capabilities, and activities of fire
departments Nationwide.
In the fall of 2001, information was
collected from 16,000 fire departments.
Since the first year of the collection, an
additional 11,150 departments have
registered with the census for a total of
27,150 fire departments. This leaves an
estimated 2,850 departments still to
respond. Additionally, about 5,430
current census registered departments
are contacted by USFA each year and
are asked to provide updates to any
previously submitted information.
