The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) report on 2007 firefighter fatalities is available for PDF download.

For fire and EMS educators there are many educational angles that could be taken using the information presented in this report.

• Injury and death prevention especially related to vehicle operations
• Workplace health and wellness initiatives because stress, exertion, and medical issues continue to be the leading cause of firefighter death
• Basic Life Support and AED refresher training for rapid response to firefighters with cardiac complaints
