- Narrative: In this EcoWest.org presentation, we examine fatalities among wildland firefighters.
- Narrative: Wildland firefighting remains a dangerous business, with more than 1,000 people killed in the line of duty since the Great Fire of 1910 in the Northern Rockies. The government reports no deaths for the next 15 years, which may be due to a lack of data. In recent years, more firefighters have been dying, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the profession is becoming more dangerous; there are far more people fighting fires these days.
