Abstract
As many of you know, we received word just 2 weeks ago that all fire service programs at the Bureau are being terminated. It was a great disappointment to us because our work was just beginning to produce some visible results. This paper is an effort to summarize what we learned during our three years of existence, highlighting as many of our specific results and conclusions as possible.
