| Abstract: |
The telephone survey of 675 rural suburban residents of North and Central Florida provides some very useful direction for the development of the Fire Education Toolkit program. Key messages that have been identified by extension agents and home landscaping experts are confirmed by this survey. Residents dislike smoke and negative air quality effects of fire, and are concerned about the fate of wildlife in fires. While rural Floridians are somewhat tired of hearing about fire, the survey identified some promising topics for attracting the public to education programs about fire in Florida. |
