| Title | Designing for firefighters-building empathy through live action role-playing | Type | Conference Article | ||

| Abstract | In this paper we present a role-playing workshop in a firefighting scenario conducted within the frame of a multidisciplinary consortium. Our work focuses on developing a navigation ubicomp infrastructure leveraging the cognitive skills of firefighters. Technology for navigation must understand existing navigation practices in order to provide adequate support. To deal with the complexity of this process, we use a participatory design approach based on a strong synergy among partners. We argue that a key aspect for the creation of this synergy is the construction of a bond of empathy allowing technology experts to understand the needs of the users of technology and also allowing firefighters to understand the role and activities of technology developers in the process. We present an account of the workshop conducted and some insights of the role that this method can play for complex, multidisciplinary teams working on developing safety-critical technology. | ||||

| Title | A functional goal decomposition of urban firefighting | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2008 | Publication | Proceedings of ISCRAM 2008 – 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2008 |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 305-314 | ||

| Abstract | In this paper we describe a functional goal decomposition of urban firefighting as part of a larger cognitive task analysis. Previous research indicates that firefighter decision strategies employ a pattern-matching technique that allows them to choose the first workable option based on similar previous experiences. This study builds upon this research by employing multiple cognitive task analysis methods to further examine firefighter decisions through a functional goal decomposition. The functional goal decomposition outlines the functions, decisions and information requirements of firefighting in terms of two overarching goals-save lives and protect property. Information requirements provide useful insight into the difficulties of firefighter decision-making. Though still in the preliminary stages, this project has generated a number of design recommendations to support urban firefighting. Future analyses are also discussed. | ||||

| Title | Evaluation of a virtual scenario training for leading firefighters | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2007 | Publication | Intelligent Human Computer Systems for Crisis Response and Management, ISCRAM 2007 Academic Proceedings Papers | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2007 |

| Keywords | Fire extinguishers; Evaluation; Firefighting; Interface problems; Training applications; Usability; Virtual scenario; Virtual training; Visual information; E-learning | ||||
| Abstract | Artesis Virtual and VSTEP BV developed a virtual scenario training for leading firefighters. We evaluated the usability of the training application and measured the satisfaction of 53 trainees. The trainees were positive about the training application, the training itself, and the interaction with the interface. We observed that trainees experienced navigation difficulties and sometimes misjudged visual information. Evaluations of new versions of this application, should address the influence of interface problems on performance. | ||||

| Title | Evaluating the Impact of 2D vs. 3D Building Plans for Fireground Incident Command Decision-Making | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2022 | Publication | ISCRAM 2022 Conference Proceedings – 19th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2022 |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 824-835 | ||
| Keywords | Emergency response; firefighting; building construction; virtual reality; human-computer interaction; pre-incident planning | ||||
| Abstract | Building construction and building layout represent two key critical pieces of information for a fire suppression operation. However, fireground incident commanders (FGCs) frequently do not have access to critical, updated information about a structure, including details that could potentially support more effective response. This gap in the information pipeline has led to significant injuries and fatalities for both civilians and first responders. Towards this end, this paper focuses on evaluating the efficacy of a user interface prototype for supporting decision-making during a simulated commercial structure fire. Sixty-four firefighters (n = 64) from North America participated in this study. Overall, there were no statistical differences in the performance of the firefighters between the two experimental conditions (2D vs. 3D). This study provides preliminary support for the use of 3D models in pre-incident planning practices. More importantly, this initial data serves as a baseline for the development of evidence-based standards for displaying pre-incident planning information to FGCs digitally. | ||||

| Title | Challenges and Trends of Data Management for Firefighting in Germany and the Netherlands | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2019 | Publication | Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2019 |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Data management, challenges, trends, firefighting | ||||
| Abstract | For successful firefighting, information is key. In this work, a general overview of the current challenges and trends of data management for firefighting in Germany and the Netherlands are examined. This was accomplished by conducting a literature review to find out the current state-of-the-art in research. The results of the literature review are then compared with expert sentiments and gaps between research and practice are revealed. Through the review, six challenge categories are identified: cartographic data harmonization, IS standardization, information gathering from unstructured data, canonical bodies of knowledge, and data-driven firefighting support. The challenges and trends are discussed in the context of Germany and the Netherlands and significant differences are presented. Lastly, the gaps between research and practice are thoroughly analyzed and potentials for future work revealed. |

| Title | Intelligent fire risk monitor based on Linked Open Data | Type | Conference Article | ||

| Abstract | Every day the Fire department of the Netherlands work hard to save people's lives. Therefore, they have been investing in Business Intelligence approaches for several years, to get more information for accident prevention and accident fighting. In this paper, Linked Open Data has been used as a business intelligence approach for the creation of dwelling fire risk profiles based on demographic data. During the research a Proof of Concept showed the appliance of Linked Open Data for this purpose. However the data have some quality mismatches, such as: outdated, accuracy issues and not 100% complete. Evaluation session proofed that the outcomes show similarities with a fire incident map and the gut feeling of several firefighters. | ||||

| Title | Interoperability during a cross-border firefighting operation at the dutch-german border | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | ISCRAM 2013 |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 925-926 | ||

| Abstract | This practitioner report describes a moor- And turf-fire that occurred in 2011 at the Dutch-German border and was engaged by forces both from the Netherlands and Germany. All involved emergency management organizations were facing interoperability issues when it came to cross-border cooperation, although cooperation handbooks were already in use and the involved organizations were used to work together. The size of the incident and it's remote location called for an increased coordination between all involved actors and across all command levels. | ||||
