Tray pack 'sticks' for safety needle
Upstream tray manufacturing
Iwasaki points out that there are competitive Huber needle manufacturers but he estimates that only one-fourth of such needles are packed into a deeper tray or "tub" as he calls it.
"There needs to be some rigidity in the tray because of how the device is designed" says Iwasaki when asked what's required of the tray. "We can't put it into a flat package because there's the possibility that if any pressure was applied to the package the device could breach that package. So that was the purpose of putting it into a tub with rigidity. Also the product is sterile and must maintain its sterility for up to two years."
Trays are thermoformed by Flexpak Corp. Ed Berger Flexpak's vice president for business development says "Now's previous [supplier] was acquired by a bigger company and opted out of the thermoforming business. We took over the existing thermoforming."
Since Flexpak assumed thermoforming responsibilities for the tray it has used the Pentamed films in 25-mil thickness for both tray sizes. "We use Klöckner Pentaplast medical film almost exclusively for all designs" says Berger. "We have a long-term relationship stretching over many years. In this instance we use Pentamed rollstock for its impact strength formability and clean die cutting."
Flexpak forms the trays on a Sencorp 2500 machine with custom tooling created in-house. In the process the Pentamed film is taken up by a pin chain to an oven where it is heated on both sides. It's then indexed to a forming station where the customized tooling is mounted. There it is vacuum-formed using pressure and mechanical assistance. Trays are then cooled and indexed to a cutting station where they're die-cut to finished footprint specifications. Once removed and inspected the thermoformed trays are double-bagged on the line placed in corrugated boxes and taped shut to keep out dust.
Now Medical's Iwasaki explains that the needle maker chose to work with Flexpak based on the recommendation of Integra Biotechnical LLC the firm that assembles and packages Now's safety Huber needle in Tijuana Mexico (though the company's main headquarters are in Vista California). Only two tray-design concepts went back and forth between Now Medical and Flexpak before the right one was achieved.
Jim Boone Flexpak's technical director says the companies talked extensively three and four times a day for two weeks while working up the design. "We had to design it and make several modifications" he recalls. He says that there were several unique features in the forming. "The tray is small due in part to the fact that a Huber needle is a right-angle needle. With Pentamed PETG film we got good results. The film protects the needles against damage." Iwasaki adds "Flexpak hit the molding specifications in two shots. They produce quality parts."
Once the design was approved Now Medical had to qualify Flexpak as a new vendor and validate the integrity of the package's sterility "which was easily assured with the use of Pentamed PETG" according to Flexpak's Berger.
Packaged in Mexico
The trays lidding and the raw materials used to make the needles are shipped to Integra in Mexico for cost-effective assembly and packaging. Integra workers assemble the safety Huber device apply the PVC sheath over its needle portion and then hand-pack it into a tray. Integra uses a Belco Packaging Systems BM Standard 2020 medical tray sealer to heat-seal the Tyvek lidding onto the tray.
The Belco machine indexes trays into its two-station tray-sealer chamber. A sealing fixture shuttles into the sealing chamber. A heated platen applies pressure through the lid to activate the adhesive that creates the seal between the lid and tray.
George Walker founder and owner of Integra Biotechnical explains that the lidding material is converted by Amcor. "It preprints the fixed information such as the Now Medical name legal claims and instructions onto the top film web in reflex blue color. The company slits the film and perforates it" between each lid footprint on the web.
As the film web unwinds a Pressiza-brand thermal-transfer printer from RSI ID Technologies prints variable data in black. This includes a reorder number description of a particular needle lot number and product code. Integra packs 25 lidded trays per corrugated shipper. These cases are taped shut palletized stretch wrapped and then shipped to a company called Steris in the United States for ethylene-oxide (EtO) sterilization. Sterilized loads are subsequently transported back to Integra for warehousing and distribution to Now Medical's customers.
Walker explains that through an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system Now Medical can access Integra's database to enter orders which they typically do every half hour he says.
Integra distributes cases to hospitals and clinics in the United States. A hospital may order 12 to 20 cases while a small clinic may order three. Now Medical's safety needles are also distributed to South America Canada and Puerto Rico.
Iwasaki says the package provides many benefits to healthcare professionals. "The lid peels off easily and the trays are clear. Visualization of the device by clinicians is important because it comes in several different needle gauge lengths and sizes. Just looking through the plastic tubs [personnel] can determine what size the device is. It is convenient for the end user. We've been happy with the Klöckner material." —Jim Butschli

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, I'm sure you've heard of Bill O'Reilly's complete lack of understanding of how the tides work, how the sun rises and sets, and how the moon got in the sky. Clearly, one could say that even a third grader could tell you the science behind the rising and setting of the sun and the functions of the tides.
Well, not 20 minutes ago, on his rant-fest, Bill O'Reilly was making his argument against raising funding for the already sub-par American educational system. In his talking points memo, he mentioned that states have property taxes which pay for public education, and that even when he went to school, he was taught "the basics."
It was at that point that I started literally laughing out loud. For a man who can't explain third grade science to claim that he was taught "the basics" is simply ridiculous.
Anyway, thoughts on O'Reilly's being taught, "The basics?"
Yeah... and he went to Harvard and Boston Uni. Pssht, what a-fucking joke.
Wow, I'm really surprised to find someone else who watches the David Pakman Show! I guess I shouldn't, not on here, but still. It's cool to know.
I absolutely agree. Bill O'Reilly is as much of a real person on his show as Stephen Colbert is on his.
Right on point.

I figured I had written my final words about the late Stan Musial.
Let's put it in perspective. Writers wiser and a lot more prominent than I have written tributes about the late Stan the Man, the greatest Cardinal ever.
There are national magazines, books and TV documentaries in his honor. I have read or watched most of them. There's nothing I can write that has not already been written.
I am not worthy. Seriously.
Time to move on, right?
I've tried but can't.
Fact is, I could write about Stan the Man every day.
I will think about him every time a convertible circles the Busch Stadium field, or whenever I see a red sports coat, or hear harmonica music.
I will defend Stan the Man whenever there are on-line fan discussions about the greatest baseball players ever because Stan too often gets ignored.
I figured my last Stan the Man fan column was written two years ago when he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The story goes: One weekday in June 2003, my daughter and I returned an autographed poster to Stan the Man Inc. headquarters in west St. Louis County. I had ordered a poster-sized replica of the famous cover of The Saturday Evening Post magazine from May 1, 1954. The cover is a painting of a young Stan in uniform signing autographs for a few young boys hanging over the dugout rail.
The framed, autographed poster was ordered on-line from Stan's memorabilia company, Stan the Man, Inc, based in west St. Louis County. Upon home delivery, there was a crack in the bottom corner of the plastic frame.
I was off work that weekday, watching my daughter, Cara, who was 9 years old at the time. I called Stan the Man Inc. and asked if I could exchange it.Sure, the return label is inside," the nice lady told me on the phone. "Ship it back. We'll send you a new one right away."
"Can I bring it back today, in person?" I asked.
"Sure," she said, surprised, and gave an address and offered directions. A few minutes later, Dad and Daughter were off on another one of Dad's spontaneous errands.
Upon our arrival, we were asked to wait in a nearby room. To our surprise, there sat Stan the Man himself, autographing baseballs.
My daughter, Cara, and I spent about fiveminutes alone with Stan the Man in a small room, talking about her curly hair and our hometown of Belleville. Looking and talking more like your grandpa than a Hall-of-Famer, he joked that every time he came to Belleville, he got lost.
I wrote in that column "There we were, in a room about the size of a classroom. Me. My daughter. Stan Musial. Surreal."
I have written before that I liked baseball and its players a lot more when all I knew about them was on the back of their baseball cards. The more I am over-exposed to the game and most of its players, the more distant I have become. But Stan the Man is the exception. Themore I learn about him, on the field and off, in life and after, the bigger fan I am.
On TV, I watched his funeral procession from the church to Busch Stadium and a stop at his statue. Thousands of fans lined the route. I thought to myself, "I will never, ever witness anything like this again in my life."
I've done something predictable over the past few months. It's become traditional when men of a certain age pass away. I scan through Tom Brokaw's book, "The Greatest Generation," again. I'm not a historian but I agree with Brokaw, the writer.They are, by far, the Greatest Generation.
Brokaw wrote, "They came of age during the Great Depression and the Second World War and went on to build modern America -- men and women whose everyday lives of duty, honor, achievement and courage gave us the world we have today."
They were our teachers, barbers, coaches, umpires, politicians, neighbors.
They are our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and family friends.
They were Stan the Man.
Look in the newspaper every day. Unfortunately, we're losing The Greatest Generation at a rapid pace.
I am in awe of The Greatest Generation. My generation can thank them for all we have. But we don't measure even close to them in terms of leadership, loyalty and values.
What do I need to write about Stan the Man, a few months after his death and a few weeks before the start of a new baseball season?
Two words: Red Schoendienst.
Red would be the first to tell you that he pales in comparison to his former roommate and friend. But Red is special to Cardinals baseball and not only because he is from Germantown and has worn the Cardinals uniform longer than any one person.
Red is even better in real life than what's on the back of his old baseball cards.
In honor of the great Stan the Man, let's continue to show our respect, gratitude, and appreciation to his good friend and former teammate, 90-year-old Red Schoendienst. Let's cherish baseball with Red, in his red jacket or uniform, in a ballpark adorned in red.

Sightings #3: Checking out the Bricasti DAC
Audio Shows give industry professionals the chance to check out products they have read about in magazines. Here, Wilson's Peter McGrath (right) talks to Bricasti's Brian Zolner (The "Bri" in Bricasti) about the latter's M1 D/A processor that so impressed me in the February issue. Feeding data to the M1 was Rega's super- sexy Apollo CD player, which Sam Tellig will be reviewing in the July issue of Stereophile.

security system, no users shown....
10 September 2007 at 2:59pm Last edited: 10 September 2007 3:36pm
I have just installed ss on a new site, but I cant seem to add users to the security list.
That is, I can add them, but they do not show on the list. I do think they are actually added, because somewhere else I saw them as an option for owner.Also, I want to get rid of the user with the default username and password (but, again the problem is that this is not listed anywhere)
Is there something that I am missing?
PS how can i log something to the bug database? I do not have a username or password for that...
PPS I checked the mysql database and in there I found all the users in the members table. -
Re: security system, no users shown....
11 September 2007 at 12:42pm
Is the list you are referring to the table in the Security admin section in the CMS? What happens when you add a member - do they stay until you refresh or disappear immediately?
The inability to delete a user is a known issue, the best you can do via the CMS is remove them from all groups. I've created a ticket for this issue.
There is a register link on the bug tracker on the top right under the search button!
Re: security system, no users shown....
11 September 2007 at 12:50pm
yes, this is in the security area. The person added never shows at all.... Does that answer your question?
Re: security system, no users shown....
12 September 2007 at 8:32am
I am having the exact same problem. The membes are in the database, and I can even login with the given account, but nothing is visible in the security pages. Not even the original admin account I created. Any ideas?
Re: security system, no users shown....
12 September 2007 at 9:54am
I'm sorry, I have never seen this bug before. If one of you is ok with me accessing your server, then send me your server details (email@example.com) and I'll see if I can find what is causing the problem.
Re: security system, no users shown....
6 November 2007 at 2:08pm
Anything further on this? I'm getting the same thing, can't allow axx to the server though sorry
The strange thing is that the same code, with the same database is working on two different machines.
I managed to do a bit of investigation into the bug: When I var_dumped the 'MemberTableField' object I find a member variable called 'sourceFilter' which contains an array with element that has a value of "`Group_Members`.`ID` IN (SELECT `ID` FROM `Group_Members` WHERE `GroupID`='1' GROUP BY `MemberID` HAVING MIN(`ID`))"
So I used this to create a select that looks like this: SELECT * FROM Group_Members WHERE `Group_Members`.`ID` IN (SELECT `ID` FROM `Group_Members` WHERE `GroupID`='1' GROUP BY `MemberID` HAVING MIN(`ID`));
Running this select on the boxes that work results in a set of data, one row for each user in the group. Running it on the box that doesn't work I get nothing.
Seems like it's a mysql related issue to me.
Working machines are "MySQL 5.0.45-Debian_1" and "MySQL 5.0.24a-log"
Non-Working machine is "MySQL 5.0.18" -
Re: security system, no users shown....
6 November 2007 at 2:15pm
Ok, further to this.. I took the sub select from the query mentioned above "SELECT `ID` FROM `Group_Members` WHERE `GroupID`='2' GROUP BY `MemberID` HAVING MIN(`ID`);"
Again this query works on 2 boxes and not on the other one.
Then I take the MIN(ID) out and what do you know, it works on across the board!
Considering that the box having the problems is the oldest version out of the three I'm wondering if the functionality of the MySQL 'MIN' function has changed somehow?
Anyway if anyone could offer me a fix that would be great.
Re: security system, no users shown....
8 January 2008 at 11:42am
I'm having same problem, no users shown in security section. Will try to remove MIN from the SQL query but would be great to get some official answer about this issue. I get same error in tow different machines with tow different servers.

text: A second private prosecution against Garzon related to abuse of power charges [JURIST report] began in January and is ongoing. In that case, Garzon is charged with politically motivated corruption in his 2008 investigation of crimes committed under the Franco dictatorship in violation of the 1977 Amnesty Law, which affords amnesty for Franco-era crimes. During the investigation, Garzon ordered [JURIST report] certain government agencies, the Episcopal Conference, the University of Granada and the mayors of four cities to produce the names of people buried in mass graves, as well as the circumstances and dates of their burial. In March, Garzon filed a petition [JURIST report] with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website], challenging the 2010 charges of abuse of power. His petition follows the September 2010 decision of the Criminal Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court, which unanimously confirmed [JURIST report] a lower court order that Garzon abused his power and must face trial. Garzon is widely known for using universal jurisdiction [AI backgrounder; JURIST news archive] extensively in the past to bring several high-profile rights cases, including those against Osama bin Laden and former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

So many of your pictures invite stories. I imagine a peculiar mineral growth that results in the hexagonal (octagonal?) pillars, which break down when they reach air, creating soil for the plants and trees. I wonder what lives of the inhabitants of this world would be like? I imagine humanoid primitives living amongst the small archipelagos, possibly swimming & playing with the dolphins. What would their culture be like, their world-view, being so connected to three elements; air, earth and water? Amazing. |
this is so awesome one of 2012s top 3 good job inculding the night one and pickle jar variations |
Ryan |
I've added the poster for this one to my Zazzle collection... |
Bill |
I'm a big fan of his work overall, but a few years ago Ryan's drawings were moving closer and closer to what I'd consider realistic-looking. Somewhere along the line they started looking more rendered and "cartoonish", like they'd appear in a video game. I hope the trend reverses. |
Afya |
The #1 reason I follow your work and use your art for my wallpapers is the way it fires my imagination. Like running water in the desert for my dried-up creativity. :) This image is magical. Where my mind wants to go in this scene is down - I want to be swimming with those dolphins and seeing this amazing world from their perspective. What do they see of the trees? How deep do those towers go? Is it possible for a different kind of alternate render, to change the perspective completely...? |
Dale |
Are you planning on rendering it in multiscreen? I have it on all of my computers at work and at home - except my dualscreen :-) |
Nick |
I hope things are going ok. Wonderful as usual. |
Shay |
Great work Ryan, and my condolences to you and your family for your loss! |
Ryan |
I am rendering a new version with slightly different colors which I hope to post soon. I've reconfigured the dolphins too ;) |
Brian |
This is great, but it's hours later and the fish haven't moved. Seriously, that was the thought that went through my little head. Lost in the art baby! |
Alex H |
Pickle jar version is pretty sick imo. The main pic is top notch, but I still quite like the direction the other one was going in |
erielack |
Ryan, I lost my dad in 2004. Seems tough to realize that we eventually lose parents and usually when we least expect. My dad was very creative and sounds a lot like your father about projects, music, etc. I got my creativity from him as well. Hang in there and again I am sorry for your loss. By the way, I really like your green/water version of the floating garden. Thanks, Brett |
Terry |
Morning Ryan, Take as long as you need - I hope you are your family are doing as well as can be expected at this time. Thoughts are with you. |
Ben |
A very cool concept and excellent composition, but have you noticed that several of your newer images have a lot of grain/noise in the blacks and shadows? I'm sure there's an explanation for it that I'm not fluent enough with your software to know of, but I feel like this would look tons better if the shadows were a lot smoother and the highlight areas weren't so harsh. On an unrelated note: I feel like the greens could be a deeper green (and less bright) and would look great. Thanks! |
Spike |
This is one of the most beautiful and serene images you've done... I absolutely love it. |
The hyperlinked multiscreen thumbnail on your main page points to moonlitoasis2. Link in the text below worked for me. Also, while I feel like you need to know about stuff like this... I also think these threads are not the place for it. Have you ever considered setting up a small forum here? yes, email is the obvious answer but people in general are far more likely to mention issues in a public forum. |
Ryan |
I would be easy for me to slip back in that direction, but I will only be adding life to this one from here on out. |
Lidia |
Boy that pickle jar version from early on sure looks like a much less inviting place... I hope any updated versions don't go back to looking much like that one. :P |
Shawn |
The floating garden won't set as my background? |
Littlemom |
ooohhhh! love this one, the colors are awesome! Thanks for putting this one out there for us Ryan. |
Justin B. |
It's the pictures like this one that make me wish I could visit the worlds that must exist in your mind. So much of your artwork gives me an outlet for my imagination Thank you!! |
Andrew S. |
What would you think of doing a pre-dawn version of this with some light fog/mist rising from the water? |
Zero |
It kind of reminds me of the game greedcorp... :-) Its beautiful, but the plants are a bit less... The dolfins are a nice touch... |
Scarr |
Though some of the plants look like they came right out of Mario Kart 64, this is my favorite background to date. I've literally never seen anything like it. 110% on creativity 85% execution. |
celmendo |
First, gorgeous and I love it! But after staring at it for a while I finally figured out what was bugging me. The water is not still so there should be minor disturbances around the plant leaf edges to give it that extra separation. Prob. a rendering decision on your part but if you ever get around to updating it that would be appreciated. Thank you as always. |
Meng |
I don't comment often, but this piece REALLY inspired me to say something. This is a VERY good piece! |
Amaryllis |
I absolutely love this one. Breathtaking. Thank you! |
rdeforest |
I like this one a lot, especially that there is no one central dominating focus, or if there is, it's the dark deep water in the center. I've had this one up on my desktop since you posted it, and when I need a break at work I minimize all my windows and just stare at it. As I'm having an annoying week at work I've had plenty of time to notice nit-picky stuff which I'm going to mention, but none of it means I don't love the picture. :) The repetition of the texture on the pillar/planters jumps out at me, especially how it's out of sync with the edges of the polygons of the objects. That texture also seems to show something coming out of it but also looks strangely flat. I don't normally notice the textures in your work, so I was pretty surprised when I noticed, and then I couldn't _not_ notice. Also the plants sitting on the water look strangely flat in stark contrast to the bushes growing near the bases of the trees. Finally, something about the lighting nags at me. It seems to be natural, and yet it also seems to close. Hope my feedback is helpful. |
Bulldog |
Awesome work as usual, Ryan. Reminds me of when my own dad would work on his water gardens; He had the water hyacinths, (the floating plants you have around the columns), and even some koi. I'd even go with him to the botanic gardens when he was a volunteer working on their water gardens. Very peaceful, tranquil. |
dujeon |
This is an awesome piece Ryan, this is the reason why I joined DB, a beautiful piece of innovative work |
Geep |
I really like the way you can see down into the water, it makes it look so surreal. :) Definitely going on my wallpaper rotation. |
Jeff |
I'll be proud to post this to my monitor just as it is, and I know your father would be proud to see this. May peace come your way soon. |
Jonathan |
I really like this one Ryan. It is different from anything else you have done (as far as I know). A couple things that would make it a ten for me- being able to see through the water more easily to the bottom, and different plants with more variety (possibly more color, but the color simplicity is nice in its own way). Your father sounds like a great man. I am sorry for your loss Ryan. You will be in my prayers whenever I see your this wallpaper. |
The Guru |
I truly love this one. I'm not noticing any flaws in this work. The idea is superb and the execution is crisp. This one gets a ten. |
James |
I love this one! The beauty for me lies in the simplicity and clean execution. Well done, sir. As has been said, so sorry to hear about your father. I will certainly be sending prayers out for you and your family. |
Lidia |
This image stirs my own imagination into wanting to dream of alternate worlds waiting to be explored. Your father's creative spirit most definitely lives on in your work! I love that picture that you linked to when you mentioned what you think your sons may miss out on. I would encourage you to frame it for them so that they will always remember what a great grandfather they had for the years that they had him. |
Alex H |
Especially those dolphins. awesome stuff |
Trav |
I am so sorry to hear about your father. His creative spirit definitely lives on in you...I can't imagine coming up with a new image every couple weeks as originally as you do. And this particular work is incredible. I can't wait for the dual screen renders. |
Patrick |
This is a beautiful new render. Great to see the return of the 3 dolphins - freshwater this time, I presume, maybe Amazon River dolphins (Inia geoffrensis)? I admire your decision to wait for your father's tribute. I am sure you will create the right piece when the time is right. |
Gregor |
Uncharted 3! Very fresh-looking with all the green plants and the slight blur on the surface... looks great on the columns! |
Jake |
Nice job! On a side note, did you mean to leave out the "r" in Garden? I keep thinking I'm in Boston whenever I read it. :) |
Chris |
I was getting a little upset because I had the impression that some of your work wasn't quite as good as it used to be, but this really proved me wrong. I love how its something very extordinary and very colorful. It seems like alot of your work is very natural landscapes or otherwise natural patterns but this is something you wouldn't find in nature; it almost looks like something out of a fairy tale. Very well done. |
Dale |
I certainly didn't really expect a new render from you after your tragic loss, but you've really hit the ball out of the park with this one. I can't help but feel we've seen these columns before on another render... I'll have to look around. |
Jeff K |
For some reason this image pulls me in and makes me want to explore this world. Are the pillars which the trees grow on natural or artificial? What do the tree tops looks like? What arent we seeing of this world. This is just great. |
Dan |
This is beautiful. |
Nico |
Very calming. |
Nico |
Very calming. |
0beron |
Crumbs, they just keep getting better and better! Great sense of depth from the columns as they fade into the deep water. |
bruceam |
This one strikes a chord. There is something rejuvenating about this image, almost like a traveler encountering an oasis. The composition is pleasing to the eye on many levels. The Dolphin are an especially nice touch. I can't wait for the wide screens!!! Thank you |

NFPA Journal® July/August 2011 By Ben Evarts
During the five-year period of 2004 - 2008, NFPA estimates that U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 16,360 structure fires in stores and other mercantile properties per year. These fires caused an annual average of 13 civilian deaths, 242 civilian fire injuries, and $648 million in direct property damage. Reported fires in this occupancy group fell 57 percent from 37,500 in 1980 to 16,200 in 2008.
The following are overviews of recent reports issued by the Fire Analysis and Research Division of NFPA. The complete text of these and many other reports are available at www.nfpa.org/firereports.

Victim Patterns: Physical Disability as a Factor in Home Fire Deaths
Stores and other mercantile properties include different types of stores; facilities providing personal services such as barber and beauty shops; laundry or dry cleaning shops; service stations; vehicle or other repair shops and businesses selling professional supplies or services; retail stores; and recreational, hobby, home repair sales, or pet stores. Grocery stores or other stores selling food or beverages accounted for 27 percent of these fires.
Fires that occurred during off-business hours caused considerably more damage per fire, on average, than those that occurred during the day. Fires that occurred between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. caused an average of $75,000 of property damage each, while those occurring between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. caused an average of $29,000 of property loss each.
Cooking equipment was involved in 19 percent of the fires in stores and other mercantile properties. However, only 6 percent of the direct property damage resulted from cooking fires. Electrical distribution and lighting equipment was involved in 12 percent of the fires and 19 percent of property damage. The 10 percent of fires that were intentionally set caused 16 percent of the property damage. Heating equipment was involved in 11 percent of the fires and 9 percent of the property damage. Smoking materials started 9 percent and clothes dryers or washers were involved in 9 percent of the ignitions.
Sixteen percent of the fires in stores and other mercantile properties began in the kitchen or cooking area; these fires caused 4 percent of the direct property damage. Five percent of the fires began in the laundry room or area, probably due to the fact that laundries and dry cleaners are included in this group of occupancies. No other area of origin accounted for more than 4 percent of all fires.
Seventy-seven percent of the fires were confined to the room of origin.
The Total Cost of Fire in the United States
By John R. Hall, Jr.
In 2008, the total cost of fire in the United States was estimated at $362 billion, or roughly 2.5 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. Of this, economic loss accounted for $20.1 billion, career fire departments for $39.7 billion, net insurance premiums for $15.2 billion, and new building costs for $62.7 billion.
Other costs included economic costs that were not re-estimated each year, which came to $44 billion; the cost of statistical deaths and injuries, both civilian and firefighter, which came to $42.4 billion; and the cost of coverage by career firefighters of areas protected by volunteer firefighters, which came to $138.2 billion.
Most of the analysis supporting these estimates is soft and has wide bands of uncertainty. Nevertheless, the conclusion that fire has a tremendous impact on the way the United States uses its resources is indisputable.
It also is clear that we have a dual interest in reducing U.S. fire losses, which include human losses that are among the highest per capita in the industrial world, and in seeking ways to achieve equivalent fire safety at lower costs, since the growth in total cost of fire has been led, not by the fire losses, but by the other cost components. This clearly indicates a need for product innovations or other programs, such as residential sprinklers and educational programs, that can improve fire safety at the same or lower costs.
It also shows the need for improved methods for calculating fire performance and costs, so the implications of choices can be considered and judged more comprehensively.
U.S. Experience with Non-Water-Based Automatic Fire Extinguishing Equipment
Non-water-based automatic extinguishing systems were reported to have been present in 2 percent of U.S. reported structure fires in 2005–2009. The percentage was higher in places where commercial cooking is common, including eating or drinking establishments, at 41 percent, and grocery or convenience stores at 25 percent. Dry- or possibly wet-chemical systems were the type of system specified for most of these fires, and other special hazard systems were cited for most of the rest.
There are some odd patterns in the statistics. Fires involving carbon dioxide systems, halogen-type systems, foam systems, and, to a lesser extent, other special hazard systems, are not reported primarily in the industrial locations where the first three systems are appropriate. Instead, they are reported primarily in the properties with commercial kitchens, where most dry- or possibly wet-chemical systems are reported, or in residential properties, specifically homes. This suggests that most of these fires were either miscoded or involved portable fire extinguishers, which are not automatic and so should not be reported at all.
Dry- or possibly wet-chemical systems in the area of fire failed to operate in 36 percent of reported structure fires large enough to activate operating equipment and operated in 64 percent of these fires. For systems that operated, performance was deemed effective in 68 percent of the cases. For fires large enough to activate systems, systems operated effectively 44 percent of the time.
Because the principal application of dry- or possibly wet-chemical systems is as area protection for commercial cooking operations, it may be more appropriate to limit the analysis to ranges and to include fires reported as confined fires in the analysis. If this is done, the likelihood of operating increases from 64 percent to 81 percent, the likelihood of effectiveness if equipment operates increases from 68 percent to 89 percent, and the likelihood of effective operation increases from 44 percent to 72 percent.
Forty-four percent of dry- or possibly wet-chemical system failures were due to lack of maintenance. Other reasons cited for failure were manual intervention that defeated the equipment and a damaged component. In some of these fires, the system had been shut off or was inappropriate for the type of fire.
In 2009, 8,800 fireworks-related injuries were treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. The trend in fireworks-related injuries has been mostly in the range of 8,300 to 9,800 since 1996, except for spikes in 2000 (primarily due to celebrations around the advent of a new millennium), and in 2004, and a sharp drop in 2008. Injuries were higher in 1984–1995 than in 1996 and later years.
In 2009, an estimated 18,000 reported fires were started by fireworks. These fires resulted in no reported civilian deaths, 30 civilian injuries, and $38 million in direct property damage.
During 2005–2009, the largest numbers of outdoor fires associated with fireworks were grass fires, of which there were 9,400 per year; brush fires, of which there were 6,000; dumpster fires, of which there were 2,200; unclassified or unknown-type natural vegetation fires, of which there were 1,700; and outside trash, rubbish, or waste fires, or which there were 1,500.
In 2005–2009, three people were killed annually in fires started by fireworks, while six were killed directly by fireworks every year. These estimates may overlap because fireworks can directly kill someone while also starting a fatal fire.
Thirty-nine percent of those injured by fireworks in 2009 were under age 15. The highest rates of injuries per million population were for children aged 10 to 14, and males accounted for 73 percent of fireworks injuries.
Fifty-three percent of the 2009 fireworks injuries were to extremities: hands or fingers accounted for 32 percent; legs for 12 percent, and arms, shoulders, or wrists for 9 percent. Most of the rest were to parts of the head, including the eye.
In 2009, five out of six fireworks injuries treated at emergency rooms involved fireworks that federal regulations permit consumers to use.
The risk of fire death relative to exposure shows fireworks to be more risky per hour of usage than cigarettes.
U.S. Experience with Sprinklers
Automatic sprinklers are highly effective and reliable elements of total system designs for fire protection in buildings. According to the 2009 American Housing Survey, 4.6 percent of occupied homes, including multi-unit homes, had sprinklers in 2009, up from 3.9 percent in 2007, and 18.5 percent of occupied homes built in the previous four years had sprinklers.
Of reported 2005–2009 structure fires, sprinklers were present an estimated 9 percent. Sprinklers were reported as present in 57 percent of reported fires in health-care properties. Manufacturing facilities, hotels and motels, prisons and jails, and dormitories and barracks had sprinklers reported in roughly half of reported structure fires. There were no sprinklers in more than half of all reported fires in every other property use.
Sprinklers are still rare in most of the places where people are most exposed to fire, including educational properties, stores and offices, public assembly properties, and homes, where most fire deaths occur. There is considerable potential for expanded use of sprinklers to reduce the loss of life and property to fire.
Sprinklers operated in 91 percent of all reported structure fires large enough to activate sprinklers, excluding buildings under construction or without sprinklers in the area in which the fire occurred. When sprinklers operated, they were effective 96 percent of the time, resulting in a combined performance of operating effectively in 87 percent of all reported fires where sprinklers were present in the fire area and the fire was large enough to activate them. Wet-pipe sprinklers operated effectively 89 percent of the time, while dry-pipe sprinklers operated effectively in 74 percent of cases.
With wet-pipe sprinklers, the fire death rate per 1,000 reported home structure fires was lower by 83 percent and the rate of property damage per reported home structure fire was lower by 71 percent.
When sprinklers failed to operate, the reason most often given was that the system had been shut off before the fire began, as may occur during routine inspection or maintenance. Other leading reasons were manual intervention that defeated the system, lack of maintenance, and inappropriate system for the type of fire. Only 7 percent of sprinkler failures were attributed to component damage. When sprinklers operated but were ineffective, the reason usually had to do with an insufficiency of water applied to the fire, either because water did not reach the fire or because not enough water was released. Other leading reasons were manual intervention that defeated the system, system component damage, lack of maintenance, and inappropriate system for the type of fire.
Home Structure Fires
By Marty Ahrens
During the five-year period from 2005 to 2009, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 373,900 home structure fires per year that resulted in an annual average of 2,650 civilian deaths, 12,890 civilian fire injuries, and $7.1 billion in direct property damage. Home fires accounted for 73 percent of all reported structure fires, 92 percent of civilian structure fire deaths, 86 percent of the civilian structure fire injuries, and 68 percent of direct structure fire property loss.
Forty-seven percent of home structure fires and 54 percent of home structure fire deaths reported in 2005–2009 occurred from November through March, reflecting the influence of heating equipment fires. Reported home fires peaked between 5 and 8 p.m. Only 20 percent occurred between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., but half of the home fire deaths resulted from fires reported during these hours.
Cooking equipment is still the leading cause of reported home structure fires and civilian fire injuries. It is also the leading cause of unreported fires. The Consumer Product Safety Commission found that in 2004–2005, U.S. households experienced 50 cooking equipment fires that they did not report for every household cooking fire reported to a fire department.
Smoking materials caused the largest number of fire deaths in 2005–2009. Heating equipment was the second leading cause of home fires and home fire deaths, but it was the leading cause of deaths resulting from fires in one- or two-family homes.
Two of every five reported home fires started in the kitchen or cooking area, causing 15 percent of the home fire deaths and 37 percent of the reported fire injuries. The 8 percent of home structure fires that started in the bedroom caused 25 percent of the civilian deaths and 21 percent of the civilian injuries. The 6 percent of home fires that originated in, and were confined to, the chimney or flue resulted in less than 1 percent of civilian fire deaths, injuries, and associated property damage. The 4 percent of home structure fires that began in the living room, family room, or den caused 24 percent of the civilian fire deaths and 11 percent of the civilian injuries.
Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in the bedroom, the living room, family room, den, or the kitchen. Almost three-quarters of the victims of bedroom fires were in the area of origin at the time of the fire, as were almost half of the victims of fires in the living room, family room, or den, and two out of five of the fatalities from kitchen fires. While two-thirds to three-quarters of the deaths from fires that began in these three areas resulted from fires that spread beyond the room of origin, four out of five of the injuries from kitchen fires were caused by fires confined to the kitchen.
In almost three-quarters of the fires that started in the bedroom, flame damage spread beyond the room. However, only 28 percent of the victims were outside of the bedroom when the fire started. This suggests that, in most of these incidents, much of the fire growth occurred after the victims were incapacitated.
Physical Disability as a Factor in Home Fire Deaths
By Ben Evarts
The American Community Survey found that 9 percent of U.S. residents who lived in the community in 2005–2007 and were at least five years old had some type of long-lasting physical disability that could make it difficult or impossible to escape a fire independently.
Twenty-one percent of the people with physical disabilities had incomes below the poverty line, which made it less likely they could afford specialized safety equipment or pay attendants. Four percent of the surveyed population had some type of sensory impairment, including vision and hearing impairments, and might not have been able to hear a smoke alarm or oral communication or be able to read printed instructions.
During 2004–2008, physical disability was identified as a contributing factor in an estimated average of 380, or 14 percent, of U.S. home fire deaths per year. If all the people with physical disabilities in the general population and among fire victims aged 5 and older were identified, and the definitions of physical disability used were comparable, people with physical disabilities had a home fire death rate in 2004–2008 of 15 deaths per million. This rate is 1.6 times the nine deaths per million population from all home fires and assumes the 2005–2007 population with disabilities would be comparable to the population in 2004–2008. Since it is very likely that some victims with physical disabilities were missed because those disabilities were not readily observable, however, the 15 deaths per million population would be an underestimate.
Providing adequate fire safety for individuals with physical disabilities can be challenging, particularly in cases of severe mobility limitations. Detection requirements consider the time a typical person needs to leave the building. If an individual cannot move out of danger, a working smoke alarm provides less benefit. In some cases, particularly when an individual is already in poor health and in the immediate area of the fire origin, fatal injury may occur before a sprinkler operates.
Compared to all home fire victims, victims with physical disabilities were more likely to be female and at least 65 years of age. While home fire deaths in general are much more common between midnight and 6:00 a.m., time patterns were less pronounced when physical disability was a factor. Fifteen percent of these deaths resulted from fires occurring between 3 and 6 p.m. More than half of these deaths resulted from fires in homes with operating smoke alarms, compared to only 38 percent of home fire deaths overall.
When physical disability was a factor, half of the victims were involved in ignition and were in the area of origin at the time the fire began. Including those who were not involved in ignition, two-thirds were in the area of origin when the fire started. Almost one-third of the victims were unable to act to save themselves. Fifty-nine percent of the victims suffered both burns and smoke inhalation as their primary apparent symptom.

Fired Utility Department Employees Returning?

I would treat it as a rumor until it can be validated. I'm sure the Daily would be "all over this" if at this time, it was true.
on Dec 17, 2006 at 6:56 pm
Believe it. Two employees from the rank and file membership recently won their arbitration hearings. One employee returned to work several weeks ago. The other employee will return after the first of the year. Both will receive all back pay, vacation and sick leave accrual and retirement benefits.
If you carefully examine the investigator's report (covered in The Weekly), you'll find that the root cause was lax supervision by utility department managers.
By the way, The Daily's investigative reporting is nil. Kudos to The Weekly.
on Dec 17, 2006 at 9:14 pm
A arbitrater is someone that is a "outsider" that both the city and the union agree to let hear the case. This person or persons is presented with both sides and then makes his or hers determination, which is final.
So, if these employees won their arbitration hearings and now have their jobs back- I have no problem with that.
on Dec 17, 2006 at 9:29 pm
Yes, an outside arbitrator ruled in their favor. However, it took almost a year and a half to reach that decision. I'm sure that it took an emotional, as well as, a financial toll on them and their families. Also, I'm sure that it will be hard for them to return to their workplace and not be bitter.

Kansas Byways Program wants bikers and walkers in the state to share their ideas for the program's new Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.
The plan is to enhance bicycling and pedestrian opportunities for each of the state's 11 scenic and historic byways.
A consulting team led by RDG Planning & Design, Omaha, and CFS Engineers, Topeka is developing the plan.
More information on the survey and planning process can be found at: www.rdgusa.com/crp/kansasbyways.
The Kansas Department of Transportation has awarded nearly $18 million to 35 projects around the state through its transportation enhancement program.
Transportation Enhancement is a federally funded program that provides cities, counties, and other groups with funding for transportation projects like bike paths, pedestrian traffic, bicycle safety education, historic restoration, scenic highway programs, and the conversion of abandoned railroad lines into trails, among other things.
May has been proclaimed Bicycle Month. The city of Wichita is celebrating by highlighting recent bike path improvements and by looking forward to what's next. There are also many bicycle-related events planned throughout the city.
Highlighted EventsMay 17 is Bike to Work Day, which will include breakfast stations around Wichita from 7:00 to 9:00 and free lunch at Old Town Square from 11:30 to 1:30.
Breakfast station locations:
The city of Wichita is launching a new advisory volunteer board for issues related to bicycling and walking.
The board will provide recommendations to the City Council, participate in planning and project development, evaluate policies; and make recommendations to City departments.
It will also play an influential role in implementing Wichita's Bicycle Master Plan.
The Wichita City Council Tuesday approved the Bicycle Master Plan. It recommends ways to make bicycling easier, safer and more convenient in Wichita.
A 19-member steering committee worked on the plan for two years. More than 4,000 people participated in the planning process at various meetings and events.
At the council meeting, Scott Wadle of the city's planning department outlined some of the recommendations:
Mark McCormick returns to KAAM; Reno County Residents Consider Jail Renovation Tax; Wichita City Council approves bike plan; Kansas Senate Committee has to delay work on tax plan because of a printing problem; Sen. Michael O'Donnell introduces legislation to have Kansas college basketball teams play.
Updated 2/6/13 9:27 am
Mark McCormick Returns To Direct Kansas African American Museum
The former director of the Kansas African American Museum in Wichita has returned to the job.
The Wichita City Council will hear recommendations Tuesday on a 10-year, $12.5 million plan to improve and connect city bike paths.
Bike shop owner Lee Engler says new riders like safe paths and seasoned riders prefer street improvements, and the steering committee is proposing both.
Wichita City Council to hear about the Bicycle Master Plan; Rezoning petition for former Tiller clinic expected at council meeting; Senate panel preparing debate over tax proposals.
Wichita City Council To Hear Presentation On Bicycle Master Plan
