To this end, data were collected on firefighter fatalities between 1990 and 2000. (For further information, see the "Methodology" section or the Appendix.) Using this analysis, better targeted prevention strategies can be developed in keeping with the USFA's goal to reduce firefighter deaths 25 percent by 2005.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 22, 2018, two male career fire fighters, ages 50 and 29, died following a structure collapse while working to extinguish hot spots following a structure fire in a 140-year old mill building. The previous day, March 21, 2018, the local career fire department was dispatched at 1616 hours, for a report of a structure fire with possible entrapment. The deputy chief arrived on scene and observed heavy smoke at the site of a large Type IV (heavy timber) construction mill building under renovation to create an apartment complex. He radioed dispatch and upgraded the incident to a working fire assignment and assumed incident command. Arriving crews were assigned to an offensive interior attack with 1 3/4-inch hand lines deployed through a door at Side Alpha. A fire fighter from Engine 99-5 was injured when he fell during interior search operations for a reported missing fire fighter. The Incident Commander ordered an evacuation of the structure and requested a personal accountability report after the fire rapidly spread throughout the 53,000-square foot structure. The reported missing fire fighter was accounted for and defensive operations were initiated with elevated master streams and ground monitors on all four sides of the structure. Approximately two hours into the incident, cracks began to form in the Side Bravo exterior wall and a large portion of the structure collapsed (Sides Bravo, Charlie and Delta) just minutes after Truck 89-1 was repositioned out of the collapse zone. Fire fighters from five fire departments worked overnight to extinguish the fire. The next morning, on March 22, 2018, Fire Department officials discussed the situation with the building owner and an engineer contracted by the building owner. The Incident Commander, the city building official, the owner, and the engineer entered the structure from Side Alpha to visually inspect floors one and two. Then they used an elevated aerial platform to visually inspect the roof and top two floors for structural stability. Following the inspection, fire department officials made the decision to use the elevated aerial platform for access to send a hose line crew onto the third and fourth floors to extinguish the remaining hot spots. Truck 99-1 was repositioned at the Side Alpha / Delta corner so that fire fighters, supervised by the Incident Commander (located in the elevated platform), could access the fourth floor. At approximately 1515 hours, a collapse occurred that dropped three fire fighters and the shift commander (assistant chief) to the ground. The Incident Commander, located in the bucket of Truck 99-1 immediately radioed a Mayday and requested additional resources. Fire fighters worked for 29 minutes to free the four fire fighters trapped under the debris. Two fire fighters received fatal injuries in the collapse while the assistant chief and the fourth fire fighter were seriously injured.

Additionally, municipalities should: (3) explore means of coordinating information sharing between building and fire departments to increase safety for fire fighters and civilians; and (4) consider conducting inspections on all commercial structures where a change of occupancy has occurred or renovations are known or suspected, giving special attention to non-sprinklered commercial retail structures.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 8, 2011, a 43-year-old male career fire fighter received fatal injuries when he was trapped under falling debris during a partial collapse at the rear of a three-story residential structure. The victim was part of a rescue company that was conducting a secondary interior search for a reported missing resident. The secondary search was initiated approximately 30 minutes after the crews had arrived on-scene and approximately 10 minutes after fire fighters evacuated the building due to deteriorating conditions within the burning structure. The secondary search was initiated after the missing civilian's roommate persisted in telling fire fighters that his friend was still inside, and most likely in a rear, second-floor bedroom. The collapse trapped the victim under debris on the first floor while the injured fire fighter rode the second floor down to the basement. A total of 11 fire fighters were inside the structure at the time of the collapse. Rescue operations took approximately 50 minutes to free the victim who was unresponsive. Extensive shoring was required within the unstable collapse area and crews had to breach the brick cellar wall to reach the injured fire fighter. Following the extrication efforts, fire fighters continued to search for the missing civilian. It was later determined that the missing civilian was not inside the structure at the time of the collapse. The civilian had left prior to the arrival of the fire department.
