This project will involve the collection of data on fire ignitions during the October 1, 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. A major source of data will be interviews with fire personnel in the various communities affected by the earthquake and relevant company officials. All ignitions will be categorized by type (for example, gas, electric and chemical related), thereby adding to the data base of ignition sources that has evolved from other modern earthquakes beginning with the 1971 San Fernando earthquake. The results of this project should contribute to the basis for making projection about fire losses in future events.

该项目将收集 1987 年 10 月 1 日惠蒂尔海峡地震期间起火的数据。数据的主要来源将是对受地震影响的各个社区的消防人员和相关公司官员的采访。所有点火都将按类型（例如，气体、电力和化学相关）进行分类，从而添加到从 1971 年圣费尔南多地震开始的其他现代地震演变而来的点火源数据库中。该项目的结果将为预测未来事件的火灾损失奠定基础。
