Computer-Use Directory

Computer-Use Directory

The United States Fire Administration is compiling information on microcomputers in the fire service. The result—a resource directory—can be used by fire departments to guide their own involvement with the new technology.

If your fire department already has a microcomputer, contact USFA and let them know how it is being applied to fire service management.

The resource directory will be published in July, so time is critical. Yeu may contact Ginny Kraus before June 30, if possible, at Fire Defense and Emergency Response Planning, USFA, FEMA, Washington, D.C. 20472, or call (202) 287-0770.
