Thesis (M.A.)--State University of New York Empire State College, 2010.

Roughly one hundred firefighter fatalities occur in the United States every year. There are three primary causes of those fatalities. This position paper will examine the most common of these three causes of death; a coronary event. The investigation of heart related events and how they affect the fire service will cover a period from 1977 thru 2010. Research data will be placed into its own category and will include: the number of fatalities that have occurred, the activity that was being performed, and the human and financial cost. Once the number of fatalities is defined and the demographics of those involved are identified the data will be utilized to identify mitigation and intervention programs that may reduce the number of firefighter fatalities from coronary related events that occur each year. This paper will argue that there are specific policies that fire services can put in place that will reduce the number of cardiac events among firefighters.

520 $a As of November 2008, volunteer and career firefighters in the United States totaled approximately 1,148,800. There are roughly 825,450 volunteers and 323,350 Career firefighters. This translates in 72% volunteer and 28% career firefighters respectively.1 There are approximately 30,185 fire departments spread out over the United States. A majority of these departments serve small communities and are more likely to be volunteer organizations. Those departments that are protecting larger communities on average have an age proportion grouping from 30-39 and 40-49. Fire fighter mortality rates are an important public issue because of the number of people employed in the emergency responder profession, along with the crucial role that firefighters perform in protecting public safety.
