Crashes Cause More Firefighter Deaths than Fires, NFPA Study Finds
Of the 37 firefighters who dies traveling to or from an incident, 24 were
involved in collisions or rollovers. Eight of those firefighters were not
wearing seat belts and at least six were speeding.
Taking a
Stand on Seat Belt Use
Recently the Foundation was provided a copy of the most recent Seat Belt Usage
Article that was written by Dr. Burton Clark, Instructional Staff at the
National Fire Academy. Burt has been a long time supporter of our efforts to
reduce the number of firefighter's lives lost in service to their communities.
He offered this article for use by the Foundation. We hope you take the time to
read this interesting perspective on firefighter safety.
