Industrial Firefighter Fatalities: Firefighter fatalities for industrial fire departments, fire brigades, and emergency response teams. Data is from the United States Fire Administration (USFA), the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), and state memorial information. Where available, links to NIOSH and OSHA investigation reports have been provided.
Two unusual circumstances: Three deaths on 9/11 are classified by the USFA as “industrial.” These were three retired FDNY firefighters who were working in the towers that day as Fire Safety Directors. Firefighter Chris Good is included here because he was a full-time industrial firefighter. His death is attributed to his volunteer department due to attending a recent house fire.
