[quote=flyer]No question firefighting is dangerous work. [/quote]
I wonder how true that is. A quick search brings me this article that claims statistically it isn’t very dangerous.
Firefighter one of nation’s safest jobs
maybe their just biased, what do I know.
But then here’s another link from bls.gov

It’s only one year, so maybe not enough data to be truly representative. But with a fatality rate of 4.4 it’s one of the safer jobs.
At any rate, I’m not seeing the data to back up claims that being a firefighter is particularly dangerous. Just saying.
