    Gosh, got this in press release format (Shortened....)
    WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Fire Administration (USFA) released
    today a comprehensive study which examines the causes of deaths for
    “on-duty” firefighters.  The USFA Firefighter Fatality Retrospective
    Study: 1990-2000 is an in-depth analysis as to the causes for more than
    1,000 on-duty deaths which have occurred in the United States during the
    last decade of the 20th century.  The goal of the study is to identify
    trends in firefighter mortality, and use the information to help reduce
    firefighter deaths by 25% in 5 (five) years.
     
    The key findings of the study include:
     
    - The leading cause of death for firefighters is heart attack (44
    percent).  Death from trauma, including internal and head injuries, is
    the
    second leading cause of death (27 percent). Asphyxia and burns account
    for
    20 percent of firefighter fatalities.
    The complete report may be viewed and downloaded from the USFA web site

    The USFA is a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
