Industrial Firefighter Fatalities

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.

Inclusion follows a working definition proposed for adoption by the IAFC Industrial Fire and Safety Section: designation to an organized fire response organization for a facility, site, or defined protection area, with assigned duties that include manual fire suppression. Three retired FDNY members killed on 9/11 while serving as World Trade Center Fire Safety Directors, and Firefighter Chris Good, whose death is attributed to his volunteer department, were included in earlier versions and are now recorded as documented exclusions in the dataset.
