There were 115 on-duty firefighter fatalities in the United States in 2007, according to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). "This past year will be remembered by the entire fire service as one of the most tragic years for firefighters in recent memory," says Greg Cade, USFA administrator. "We are committed to continuing our dedicated efforts with the International Association of Fire Chiefs, National Volunteer Fire Council, International Association of Fire Fighters, and National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to make sure 2008 is not a repeat of 2007," Cade added.
