106 Firefighter Fatalities in 2005
The USFA has published the preliminary statistics for line-of-duth deaths in 2005. There were 106 deaths in 2005, which is the fewest since 2002 when there were 101.
Here is an important quote from the press release:
"The fire service of this nation has tragically lost, again, too many firefighters in 2005," said Deputy USFA Administrator Charles Dickinson. "The USFA approaches 2006, joined with the fire organizations and fire department leaders, to commit to doing what it takes to reduce these too often, preventable losses."
Let's do our part this year in preventing the deaths of our brothers and sisters.
