Firefighting is dangerous work. Although there have been major advances in safety planning, technology, and protective equipment, firefighters continue to get injured on the job. However, these injuries can be prevented if the Fire Service and safety researchers have comprehensive, consistent, and accurate information about who is being injured, how they are being injured, and what types of injuries occur. As the responsibilities of the Fire Service grow and change, it is important to have an information system that can identify new hazards in the Fire Service.
