Abstract:
In a research project submitted to the National Fire Academy as part of the Executive Fire Officer Program, Raleigh Assistant Fire Chief Earl F. Fowler recommends that municipal fire officials prepare themselves and their cities to make decisions that can avert environmental disaster in the case of large scale fire suppression operations. Fowler says the City of Raleigh and fire departments across the state need to develop policy and procedures to protect local water ways from pollution by fire-fighting runoff water.
