INTRODUCTION

About the data in this reportNFIRS - The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) was developed by the U.S. Fire Administration and is a uniform system of incident reporting that uses a common set of definitions and associated numerical codes. NFIRS provides general guidance and standards to be used when completing incident reports. Data submitted by Oregon fire agencies to the OSFM using the NFIRS format and standards is the primary source of information for this report.

Oregon Fire Bridge™ - Oregon’s incident reporting system, Oregon Fire Bridge™, is a real-time reporting system that is web based and NFIRS compliant. Incident reports submitted to the OSFM are required under ORS 476.210 and must be compliant with the current NFIRS incident reporting standard. Incident reports are submitted to the OSFM from local fire agencies in Oregon and are maintained in the Oregon Fire Bridge™. Data entered into the Oregon Fire Bridge™ by local fire agencies can be changed, modified, or updated at any time as newer information becomes available. Data that was not reported in previous years may also be entered at any time. These variables may cause information previously reported by OSFM to be different than what is currently reported.

Statewide Incident Summary - The data in this section was obtained from the Oregon Fire Bridge™ and includes every type of incident reported, not just fire incidents. The data in this section includes only incidents reported to the OSFM on or before 3/31/2017.

Fires in Oregon - The data in this section was obtained from the Oregon Fire Bridge™ and includes only incidents that involved an actual fire. The data in this section includes only incidents reported to the OSFM on or before 3/31/2017.

Community Right To Know Report - The Community Right to Know and Protection Act was passed by the Oregon Legislature in 1985 (ORS 453.307 to ORS 453.520). Oregon’s Community Right to Know (CR2K) program is administered by the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM), and meets or exceeds certain requirements of the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. The law requires the OSFM to survey facilities annually in order to collect, validate, and disseminate information on hazardous substances located throughout the state. This supplement report summarizes the information reported by facilities on the Hazardous Substance Information Survey.

Certain hazardous substance incidents are required to be reported to the OSFM under ORS 453.342. The Oregon Fire Bridge™ system is the online database the OSFM makes available for fire departments to enter hazardous substance incidents. A snapshot of the hazardous substance incidents that occurred in 2016 was taken on March 31, 2017, for the purpose of summarizing the information reported by first responders.

Reporting Agencies - In order to provide a more complete summary of the fire situation in Oregon, the data in this report includes information provided by fire agencies recognized by the OSFM, including those that are not required to report their incident data to OSFM.

Appendices - The information contained in the appendices was obtained from the Oregon Fire Bridge™, OSFM Fire Service Profile Reports, the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO), agency websites, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office. Information compiled through OSFM’s Fire Service Profile Reports and from SDAO was provided by Oregon fire protection agencies as listed. Not all agencies provided information.

2 OSFM 2016 CR2K Annual Summary

MethodologiesAid Given - To isolate individual fire incidents, only reports from the primary agency are included. Excluded from this report are any incidents where agencies reported that mutual or automatic aid was given. An exception is where aid given totals are specifically identified.

Casualties - Information on fire service and civilian casualties in this report is based on data provided in either the NFIRS Fire Service Casualty Module or the Civilian Fire Casualty Module. Casualty data entered only in the NFIRS Basic Module was not included.

Estimated Loss Amounts - Dollar amounts listed in this report are estimates made by on-scene firefighters and are not actual insurance totals. Methodologies for determining estimated loss amount and pre-loss amounts are established independently by each local fire agency.

Note: Totals in the following charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.


OREGON COMMUNITY RIGHT TO KNOW AND PROTECTION ACT

Executive SummaryThis summary is being provided in accordance with OAR 837-085-0390. It is a summary of information reported to the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal regarding the storage of hazardous substances at fixed facilities as well as incidents involving hazardous substances during 2016.

The Oregon Community Right to Know and Protection Act, Oregon Revised Statute 453.307 to 453.372, mandates the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal to survey employers in Oregon that have the potential to store hazardous substances at their fixed facilities. This is accomplished with the Oregon Hazardous Substance Information Survey (HSIS). Facilities are required to complete the annual survey and submit it to the Office of State Fire Marshal. The information reported on the survey includes the names of hazardous substances, the quantities stored at the site, the total amount that enters or leaves the site, the hazards associated with the substances, and storage locations.

A hazardous substance is defined in OAR 837-085-0040 (30) as:

(a) Any substance designated as hazardous by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or by the Office of State Fire Marshal; or

(b) Any substance required to have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) pursuant to Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division’s OAR 437, division 2 (29 CFR 1910.1200), subdivision Z, and which appears on the list of Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents in the Work Environment by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist (ACGIH); or

(c) Any substance required to have an MSDS pursuant to Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division’s OAR 437, division 2 (29 CFR 1910.1200), subdivision Z, except:

(A) Substances exempted by designation of the Office of State Fire Marshal; or

(B) Substances which are solids and do not react or dissolve and are stored in unprotected areas; or

(C) Substances exempted by the rules of OAR chapter 837, division 085; or

(D) Gases intended and used for human or animal ingestion or inhalation either directly or added to a product, if the gas is present at the site where ingestion or inhalation occurs; and the gas is not being used in a manufacturing process; and the gas is not a cryogenic; and the gas is not being stored at the site in a quantity that exceeds 1,000 cubic feet.

(d) Any substance for which a manufacturer is required to develop an MSDS, that presents a physical or health hazard to emergency response personnel or the public under normal conditions of use or during an emergency situation; or

(e) Any waste substance that presents a physical or health hazard to emergency response personnel or the public under normal conditions of use or during an emergency situation; or

(f) Any radioactive waste or radioactive material as defined in ORS 469.300(19) and radioactive substance as defined in 453.005.

The reportable quantity thresholds for most substances are:

• 500 pounds of a solid

• 500 gallons of a liquid

• 500 cubic feet of a vaporous gas

• 500 gallons of a liquefied or cryogenic gas

For highly toxic substances or explosives the thresholds are:

• 5 gallons of a liquid

• 10 pounds of a solid

• 20 cubic feet of a gas


Extremely Hazardous Substances designated by the Environmental Protection Agency are reportable at the specific threshold planning quantity established for each substance. Radioactive substances are reportable at any quantity that is not a sealed source. OAR 837-085-0070 (2) (a)

The reportable quantity thresholds for gasoline and diesel in underground tanks at retail gasoline service stations are 75,000 gallons and 100,000 gallons respectively.

OAR 837-085-0380 requires all incidents responded to by emergency response personnel involving a hazardous substance to also be reported to the Office of State Fire Marshal.

FACILITIES REPORTING

Hazard Class Reporting Frequency

Facilities reporting substances on the survey must also report the hazard class associated with the substance. Hazard classes used for reporting are mainly United Stated Department of Transportation (USDOT) hazard class codes, along with several custom codes used only by the Oregon Community Right To Know Program. A substance can be assigned up to three hazard class codes.

This table shows how many times a substance with the hazard class was reported. For example, the table shows that facilities reported a Hazard Class 6.3 substance 13,887 times on the survey in 2016.

Hazardous Substance IncidentsINCIDENT COUNTS

Oregon Fire Bridge™

Under the Oregon Community Right to Know and Protection Act, those who responded to an incident involving hazardous substances must report information about that incident to the OSFM. The OSFM currently provides responders with an online incident reporting system called Oregon Fire Bridge™.

Fire departments and OSFM hazmat teams reported 2,227 hazardous substance incidents in 2016. These incidents resulted in 16 civilian injuries, two civilian deaths, and two fire service injuries.

Using information collected in Oregon Fire Bridge™, this section presents several snapshot views of hazardous substance incidents in Oregon. More information can be requested by contacting the CR2K Information Assistant at 503-934-8353, emailing [email protected], or from our website at http://www.oregon.gov/osp/SFM/Pages/CR2K_InformationAvailable.aspx.

Incident reporters categorize hazmat incidents in one of several broad categories. These categories describe the general types of responses to incidents.

Oregon Regional Hazmat Team ResponsesOutreach

In 2016, Oregon Regional Hazmat Emergency Response Teams conducted 46 outreach events and training sessions for 2,533 students across the state. Most training was conducted at local fire departments within the response regions, and often included representatives from industries within the region. Outreach training conducted by the hazmat teams ensures local responders are prepared to respond quickly and safely, and assist the hazmat team in the event of a hazardous substance incident. The table below identifies the number of outreach events conducted by each team.

Telephone Advisory Calls

In addition to incident response, teams provide an additional resource through telephone advisories to local responders, industry representatives, and others throughout their respective regions. In 2016, the teams conducted 82 telephone advisory calls. The table below identifies the number of calls handled by each team.
