Do What Is Necessary To Ensure That Everyone Always Goes Home

摘要

If you could save a firefighter from a line-of-du-ty death, wouldn't you? If you could stop a fire crew from an intersection accident, wouldn't you? If you knew your closest firefighter friend was going to have a heart attack performing fire attack, search and rescue, or while performing overhaul, would you let it happen? Of course you wouldn't. The next question to contemplate then is this: why do we continue to lose more firefighters to heart attack and vehicle accidents each year? Heart attacks and vehicle accidents remain the leading and second leading causes of preventable line-of-duty deaths. The best way to slow, stop, and reverse this trend is to bring the Courage to Be Safe campaign and the Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives into your life. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation would like to reduce preventable line-of-duty deaths by 50% within the next three years.
