In 2003, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) announced a goal to reduce firefighter fatalities by 25 percent within 5 years and 50 percent within 10 years. It also committed to doing research that would support that goal. The consistently high annual percentage of fatalities related to fire department response and roadway scene operations prompted the USFA to look at several aspects related to these collisions in an effort to improve responder safety.Firefighters who are killed in privately owned vehicles (POVs) during the course of their duties account for the largest percentage of vehicle-related deaths. These are typically volunteer firefighters who are responding to or returning from emergency calls. However, career firefighters are also occasionally killed in POVs while performing their duties.Contents: Preface * Chapter 1 * Introduction * Other Government Initiatives for Roadway Safety * Federal Highway Administration Traffic Incident Management Website * Federal Highway Administration Traffic Incident Management Handbook * National Traffic Incident Management Coalition * Data Collection * Firefighter Fatalities * Firefighter Injuries * Secondary Collisions * Factors Influencing the Occurrence of Roadway Scene Incidents * Other Considerations Relative to Roadway Incident Scenes * Economic Impact * Impact of Travel Delay Resulting From Vehicle Collisions * Project Goals * Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways * Chapter 2 * Incident Case Studies * Case Study 1 * Case Study 2 * Case Study 3 * Case Study 4 * Case Study 5 * Case Study 6 * Case Study 7 * Case Study 8 * Case Study 9 * Case Study 10 * Case Study 11 * Case Study 12 * Case Study 13 * Case Study 14 * Summary * Chapter 3 * Equipment to Improve Highway Safety * Intelligent Transportation Systems Technologies to Improve Roadway Safety * Traffic Surveillance Technology * Mayday and Automatic Collision Notification Systems * Freeway Service Patrols * Changeable Message Signs * Tem
