Communications—Rand-HUD Fire Models

The March, 1978 issue of Management Science carried a paper by Jan M. Chaiken titled “Transfer of Emergency Service Deployment Models to Operating Agencies” which purported to describe the successful implementation of, among other things, fire service management models developed by the Rand Corporation for the Office of Policy Development and Research of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The appearance of this paper at such a late date raises serious questions of professional responsibility and competence, both for the Rand-HUD team and for the management science and operations research communities.
