Firefighter Fatalities in the United States in 2002

This report continues a series of annual studies by the USFA of on-duty firefighter fatalities in the United States. The USFA is the single public agency source of information for all on-duty firefighter fatalities in the United States each year. The unique and specific objective of this study is to identify all on-duty firefighter fatalities that occurred in the United States and its protectorates in 2002, and to present in summary form the circumstances surrounding each occurrence. The study is intended to help identify approaches that could reduce the number of firefighter deaths in future years. In addition to the 2002 overall findings, this study includes a study of firefighters killed while responding in their personal vehicles and low cost steps that can be taken to prevent the loss of firefighter lives.
