[edit] Master plan?

I think in order to fix up some of these articles, we need to come up with a master plan. Right now, we have some articles that could be merged, and some that need to be repositioned. For one thing, fire alarm needs some work, as it most specifically discusses notification appliances and thus should be positioned as such and reworked for that.

[edit] Fire Protection

This section appears to be made up entirely of UK and AUS contributions. Furthermore, the photo of a heat detector appears to be a burglar alarm component. WTF?

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fire Service

Is there any interest in expanding this Project to include more of the fire service. There are many articles which could fall under a Fire Service WikiProject. Any interest? Let me know!--Daysleeper47 21:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

List them in here. I'd love to see it. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
What I had in mind includes but is not limited to:
Famous Fires - includes both wildfires and structures
Cocoanut Grove fire
The Station nightclub fire
Cedar Fire
Fire Departments
Arlington County Fire Department
New York City Fire Department
Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service
Fire apparatus and related
Fireboat
Seagrave Fire Apparatus
Turntable ladder
Fire Service tools and terms
Backdraft
Hook ladder
K-tool
Some of these are already tagged as belonging to WikiProject Diaster Management, but that is clearly not entirely appropriate. This project could easily act as a cousin project (I am a member of that Project). Some things like the stub template already exist. Thoughts? --Daysleeper47 05:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
