Firefighting is a combinatorial optimization problem on graphs that models the problem of determining the optimal strategy to contain a fire and save as much from the fire as possible. We introduce and study a new version of firefighting, Politician's Firefighting, which exhibits more locality than the classical one-firefighter version.

SAFT: Firefighting Environment Recognition Improvement for Firefighters
2015This study is to develop a device that enables to protect life of firefighters and facilitate firefighting activities. In many cases, the existing studies focus on the development of firefighting suites with many sensors and entire network system. In contrast, there are not many studies related to simple device easily used for protecting one’s life in ...

Evaluation of carotid wave intensity in firefighters following firefighting
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2011Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of line-of-duty firefighter deaths, but little information exists elucidating the physiologic responses. Wave intensity (WI) is a new hemodynamic index that provides information about the dynamic behavior of the heart and the vascular system and their interaction. The larger first peak wave (W1) occurs during

An autonomous firefighting robot
2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR), 2015The field of firefighting has long been a dangerous one, and there have been numerous and devastating losses because of a lack in technological advancement. Additionally, the current methods applied in firefighting are inadequate and inefficient relying heavily on humans who are prone to error, no matter how extensively they have been trained. A recent

The Capability for Suicide in Firefighters
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2018ObjectiveSuicide among firefighters is a critical mental health concern that remains under studied. The interpersonal–psychological theory of suicidal behavior (IPTS) states that, to engage in lethal suicidal behaviors, an individual must possess thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and fearlessness about death (IPTS factors).

The article discusses the fire shelter developed by the scientists at U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center. It states that scientists used inflatable heat-shield technology that can withstand scorching temperatures that spacecraft endures when passing through the atmosphere. It mentions that the U.S.

I'd like to make a correction to the otherwise superb article by Erik Stokstad, “Pollution gets personal” (News Focus, 25 June, p. 1892). The first paragraph should more accurately report that the federal study of 370 firefighters, members of my organization, was done by a team of scientists from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and ...
