THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the background of the study, statement of the problems of the problems significance of study, scope and delimitations and definition of terms.

Background of the Study

         Many fire services and safety across nation are being challenged by budget crises, rising call volume, personnel and equipment shortages, security issues and the overall, expectation to do more with less. Effectively managing these challenges requires a basic understanding of how changes in resources effect operators, as well as political decisions makers, know how fire department resource deployment in the their   local community outcomes in three important areas; Fire Fighter injury and Death, affects civilian injury and death, and property loss. Fire protection is one of the primary community services provided by most local governments. In larger cities, fire protection is provided by a full-time, professional fire department. One of the basic activities carried out by these departments is fire prevention. The prevention of fires can result from many factors other than fire department efforts. However, as being used here, fire prevention is the set of activities performed by fire department personnel for the purpose of preventing the occurrence of fires and reducing the potential seriousness of fires. Typical fire prevention activities include building inspections and education of public and private groups. These activities are usually the responsibility of a separate division within the department, such as a "Fire Prevention Bureau." Many cities maintain fairly large fire prevention groups or bureaus. While some of these groups are organized and operate differently, most conduct the basic fire prevention activities of building inspections and prevention education for the public. In doing so, they are faced with similar decisions in planning and carrying out these operations. Such problems include how often to conduct building inspections, which buildings to assign to each available inspector, and how to allocate man-hours between inspection activities and public education activities. These and other similar decisions constitute important and 2 challenging problems. Yet practically no research on their analysis has been reported.
