Unlike municipal fire departments, industrial emergency response teams have little ability to openly share incident data, annual statistics, or lessons learned from large and complex incidents. In an effort to share data I am proposing data be collected and anonymized before sharing. This could strengthen the industrial fire service by reducing repeated events, sharing experiences with technology and equipment, and provide data on the impact made by industrial responders – a currently underrepresented population in most firefighter research. Please complete this survey regarding barriers and preferences to help steer a potential structure for data sharing.
Documented On-Site ERT Incident Responses — 2026
| Date | Location | Facility | Team | Incident | Source |
|---|
Off-Site Industrial Responses
Industrial emergency response organizations responding beyond their own facilities in support of municipal or industrial operations. Multi-year record; formal archival copy maintained on Zenodo.
| Date | Location | Facility | Team | Incident | Source |
|---|
Mobilized Contract Specialist Responses
Commercial industrial firefighting and hazard-control contractors mobilized to an incident from outside the affected site, often traveling regionally or nationally for large or extended incidents. Contract providers embedded at a facility for day-to-day fire, hazmat, or emergency staffing are not listed here — those function as that site’s ERT and appear in the incident table above.

Documented Internal Team Activations — Non-Incident Responses
Verified activations where no fire, release, or casualty event ultimately occurred. Maintained separately to preserve consistent inclusion criteria in the incident dataset above.
