FIRE-SERVICE CAPABILITIES FOR DAMAGE CONTROL AND RESCUE

Abstract

This study examines the capabilities for fire-control and rescue activities by the fire services following nuclear attack on urban areas. The subjects treated include: (1) feasibility of various strategies and tactics; (2) guidelines for tactical decisions for limited-information cases; (3) resource and manpower requirements for typical operations; (4) rationale for allocation of services to demands; and (5) basic concepts of a method for evaluating performance. The research reported accomplished the following: (1) development of analytical methods and preliminary performance models; and (2) studies of specific cases to test the analytical methods and to provide a preliminary evaluation of some operational concepts. A follow-on study is recommended to bring the research to a conclusive stage.
