This study examines damage to fire departments in the Five-City Study as a result of the Five-City Study nuclear attack.

The research reported accomplished the following 1 determination of the disposition of personnel and equipment for the fire departments of the five cities and estimation of the degradation of forces in San Jose and 2 studies of specific cases in the San Jose central business district to give an indication of the accomplishments possible by fire services after nuclear attack. A follow-on study is recommended to complete the damage estimation for the Five-City Study. Author
