| Summary/abstract: | - As early as 1973, the national commission on fire prevention and control's report, America's Burning and more recent publications such as Solutions 2000, outlined the importance of developing community risk reduction programs. The purpose of this research was to identify the criteria for a fire and life safety community risk reduction program for the New Britain Fire Department. The research procedures included literature reviews, internet research and survey questionnaires of senior citizen groups, local fire departments and other agencies. The results highlighted community risks within New Britain and identified guidelines for developing a community risk reduction criterion. Recommendations included the adoption of new policies to reduce identified risk within the New Britain community.
