Depends how job-related deaths are tabulated. I recall reading that firefighters had 2-3x the lifetime cancer risk of people in other jobs. Exposure to smoke, dust, vapors from heated toxics can’t be good for you.[/quote]
Except CalPERS shows that Firefighters and safety professions out live the general public with a longer life expectancy.
