- Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to analyze the circumstances surrounding fire fighter fatalities in the United States in 1992 in an attempt to identify potential means for reducing the number of deaths that occur each year. In addition to the 1992 findings, this study will also include special analyses of particular recurring scenarios, using NFPA's data base of fire fighter fatalities from 1983 through 1992.
