Turns out, it isn’t just me. The IAFC is a tad behind the rest of us in reporting LODD for the U.S. in 2007 but it notes in a posting yesterday on its website that there have already been multiple line-of-duty deaths in 2008 and outlines tools and resources available to the fire service to try to reduce the numbers.
Just last night, blogger Billy Goldfeder reported a LODD, a firefighter in West Virginia who died after reporting to a fire scene and experiencing chest pains.
