FIRE FIGHTER FATALITY INVESTIGATION AND PREVENTION PROGRAM

Cold-Storage and Warehouse Building Fire

Each year an average of 100 fire fighters die in the line of duty. To address this continuing national occupational fatality problem, NIOSH conducts independent investigations of fire fighter line of duty deaths. This web page provides access to NIOSH investigation reports and other fire fighter safety resources.

 

Spotlight

NIOSH is pleased to support the 2012 International Fire / EMS Safety and Health Week. The theme for Safety and Health Week this year is “Rules You Can Live By.” The effort captures the importance of emergency responders taking care of themselves both on and off the emergency incident scene.
