computing point density around specified features

Greetings,

My task is to compute point density within a 8 mile radius from the center of the circle.

I have a fire damage dataset in point shapefile format and the center of the circles around which (i.e from 8 mile of the radii) I need to compute density of the fire damage. During density computation, fire damage points close to the center should count more than points further from the center. I have created the buffer of 8 mile from the center of the different circles to determine the number of fire damage locations within the circle. After this I couldnot figure out the process that helps me to achieve my objective of computing point density. Your suggestions in this regard would be of great help.

Thank you for your time,
khsami
