Marinucci comments on line-of-duty deaths (LODDs) among America's firefighters. He opines that, despite the fact that the numbers are outrageously high and have been so for quite some time, there are ways to reduce LODDs if the entire fire service embraces safe practices. These safe practices will be the product of improved and daily training along with better policies and proper use of experience. The training includes the repetition needed to develop skill competence combined with fire science study, building construction, and other risk factors so that LODD issues are well known and part of the knowledge base of all firefighters.
