Firefighter fatalities

 

I am writing a report for a class I am taking.  The report is on firefighter fatalities.  There is a lot of information on the subject from different sources like FEMA, NIOSH, and the U.S. Fire Administration.  The number one cause of firefighter fatalities is heart attack.  That is why it is so important for firefighters to stay in shape.  Sometimes we get criticized for working out at work, but as you can see, working out is one of the most important things we can do to keep ourselves safe.

The number two cause of firefighter fatalities is trauma.  That is another story for another time.
