For Calendar Year 2005 This public document was published at a cost of $2.04 per copy. This document was published by the Office of the State Fire Marshal to inform State Government and the general public of the agency’s activities for the 2005 calendar year.

Information 31 What’s New 32 Contact Information 33 This report provides a snapshot of our current status and acts as a compass for the future. We would like to thank our reporting fire departments for submitting accurate fire reports as they are the portal to forming a picture of trends and patterns in our state. This information is used by many organizations in their endeavors to protect life and property, including the insurance industry, the fire service, and code promulgators. Fire data also aids reporting fire departments through lowering their property insurance rating, resource deployment and grant applications. The year 2005 was a trying time for the state of Louisiana due to the devastation from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Despite the negatives that resulted from these storms, there were positive events that occurred as well. The fire service of this state demonstrated extraordinary professionalism in responding to affected departments and municipalities. A fire task force was created during the height of the disaster to respond to those in need and has been the cornerstone of a unifying effort of the fire service that will serve the citizens of our state for years to come. To build on this unifying effort, the fire marshal has expanded its role to support fire departments in the state. The agency has taken on a support function to the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. This role will allow the fire service to be utilized in future disasters on a statewide basis. While adapting to these new challenges, the agency's core mission has remained the same, "to protect life, property, and the environment from fire and explosions". To this end, the agency is currently working closely with the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code Council to ensure all buildings can withstand the damages of wind and flood. The mission of our office can not be attained without the collective efforts of the fire service and our industry partners in the state. The Office of the State Fire Marshal has responded well to the challenges presented over this past year and is ready to meet new ones. We thank each and every one of you for your efforts and cooperation. The staff and administration of this office appreciates the opportunity to serve you as we build a safer and better Louisiana.

This year we are continuing to implement the NFIRS 5 (National Fire Incident Reporting System) program. We hope to see a continuing effort from departments to move from paper to electronic reporting. With the changing role of the fire department there is now more than ever, the need for the use of computers in our fire stations. To assist departments in this undertaking, we are offering our services to hold training classes on NFIRS 5.0. If your department would like to host a training class, please contact Nathan McCallum at: [email protected] or by phone at 800-256-5452. The Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office would like to take the opportunity to thank those fire departments who have taken the time to submit fire reports over the past year. The information you submit allows us to better understand and effectively control the fire problem in the state. These reports provide very useful information for tracking fire trends in the state and developing fire safety education programs. However, we need all departments to report to have the most complete and accurate information regarding the fire problem in Louisiana. Please encourage any neighboring departments not currently reporting to participate in the LFIRS program. This year 301 or 51% of departments (as compared to 49% last year) reported fire incidents to the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Additionally, this office strives to be the most progressive and efficient agency. To this end, a computer based reporting system has been implemented. Staff members continue to take an active role on the national level in developing, testing & improving the NFIRS 5.0 system. A list of vendors offering NFIRS 5.0 software is on our website at www.dps.state.la.us/sfm/lfirs.htm. The following pages indicate which departments reported and which departments did not report for the year 2005. For your convenience, the fire departments are listed by parishes. Once again, we would like to thank all of those departments that did submit reports and any other departments that will report in the future.

Universities Calendar Year 2003 Calendar Year 2004 Calendar Year 2005 Effective July 1, 2004, inspections of new construction are conducted utilizing the 2003 edition of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and referenced NFPA standards. Additionally, other codes and standards used are the Southern Standard Building Code for high-rise buildings, Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the State Fire Marshal Act. Inspections of existing buildings are conducted utilizing the edition of the Life Safety Code that was adopted by the state at the time that the building was constructed. For example, if a building was constructed in 1970, the inspection would be conducted in accordance with the requirements as set forth in the 1967 Life Safety Code. In order to provide efficient service to the public and allow facilities to open in a timely manner, the State Fire Marshal's office maintains its goal to complete new construction final inspections within two weeks of the date the final inspection is requested. The first diagram above indicates the percentage of final inspections conducted in accordance with this goal. The other diagram indicates a total number of inspections for specific occupancy types. In order to ensure that inspections are being conducted in accordance with the adopted codes, rules, laws and regulations, last year District Supervisors and Assistant Supervisors conducted 6,536 field Quality Control inspections. The Quality Control Program includes conducting training inspections and revisiting facilities to ensure that the inspectors are citing codes properly and consistently. Supervisors and Managers use this information to evaluate and provide for the training needs for the inspection staff. 200 5 ANNU AL RE PO RT PAGE 27 Investigation/Arson Section A rso n S ta tistic s - C a le n d a r Y e a r 2 0 0 3 T o ta l F ire s In v e s tig a te d 700 600 T o ta l N o n -In c e n d ia ry F ire s 639 530 500 516 400 T o ta l S u s p ic io u s /In c e n d ia ry F ire s T o ta l C a s e s C lo s e d b y A rre s t/E x c e p tio n a l C le a ra n c e 300 T o ta l F a ta litie s 200 T o ta l B u rn In ju rie s R e p o rte d 121 109 100 52 0 A rso n S ta tistic s C a le n d a r Y e a r 2 0 0 4 T o ta l F ire s In v e s tig a te d 400 350 371 358 348 300 T o ta l N o n -In c e n d ia ry F ire s T o ta l S u s p ic io u s /In c e n d ia ry F ire s 250 T o ta l C a s e s C lo s e d b y A rre s t/E x c e p tio n a l C le a ra n c e 200 T o ta l F a ta litie s 150 116 100 T o ta l B u rn In ju rie s R e p o rte d 50 49 31 0 A r s o n S ta tis tic s - C a ln d a r Y e a r 2 0 0 5 500 450 499 450 430 400 T o t a l F i r e s In v e s t i g a t e d T o t a l N o n - In c e n d i a r y F i r e s 350 T o t a l S u s p i c i o u s / In c e n d i a r y F i r e s 300 250 T o t a l C a s e s C lo s e d b y A r r e s t / E x c e p t i o n a l C le a r a n c e 200 T o t a l F a t a li t i e s 150 100 106 50 0 20 T o t a l B u r n In j u r i e s R e p o r t e d 82 PAGE 28 200 5 ANNU AL RE PO RT Licensing Section The Licensing Section regulates Burglar New Firms Burglar New Employees Burglar Renewals -Employee Burglar Renewals -Firm Burglar Revisions Burglar Misc.

With the help of sponsorships and grants, Risk Watch is currently being taught in University Lab Schools throughout the State, and in Hammond area schools. A coalition of organizations was formed to promote the program, the agencies involved are: State Fire Marshal’s Office, State Police, The Fire Chief’s Association, The bureau of EMS and the Department of Education. In 2001 a $15, 000 grant from NFPA enabled the education department to form a state level coalition team to expand the original goals for Risk Watch into a three-year statewide pilot. Five communities (a total of 100 classrooms) were selected to implement this pilot-Gonzales, New Orleans, Port Allen, Shreveport, and Slidell. Each community formed a coalition of local educators, fire, police and health officials, who attended a two-day training seminar in preparation for implementation in Fall 2002. In 2002 a $30,000 grant from the NFPA was received to implement the Risk Watch program into 200 additional classrooms throughout the state. This expansion included the entire parish of West Baton Rouge, portions of East Baton Rouge and Jefferson parishes as well as many independent cities throughout the state. The grant enabled Risk Watch to be taught in 227 classrooms reaching over 5,000 additional students. In 2005, Louisiana received a grant consisting of smoke detectors, Risk Watch and Remembering When ( Safety Education for Seniors). Statewide nearly 7,000 detectors were installed, Over 100 classrooms of Risk Watch were added and 20 communities adopted Remembering When. Risk Watch is taught and monitored using pre and post-testing. Annually, all pre and post test results are directed to NFPA for final analysis and tracking. Future plans include reaching out to the Home School Association and Head Start Program's, as well as expanding within existing communities and adding several new communities to the roster. Results from the Risk Watch program are very encouraging, The percent of knowledge gain from pre-post tests is approximately 15% state-wide. The children of Louisiana are becoming more knowledgeable in preventing injuries and recognizing unsafe behavior and hazards. We are dedicated to bringing this lifesaving program to all children in our state and look forward to many additional years of assisting our educators in this endeavor.
