One other quote from the above mentioned piece: "The research also debunks some commonly held beliefs associated with fire-fighting, such as high fatality rates in the workplace" Although some outside the fire service may believe this (mistakenly), the reality is that the statistics used to back up such statements are flawed, in the sense that firefighting is classified as "just another occupation", which obviously is not true. Take a look at the link for more on this. http://www.laurelvfd.org/firefighting_paper.htm
