Preventing Deaths and Injuries of Fire
Fighters Using Risk Management
Principles at Structure Fires
AGENCY: National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC),
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of issuance of Final
Guidance Publication.
SUMMARY: The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the availability of the
publication entitled ‘‘Preventing Deaths
and Injuries of Fire Fighters Using Risk
Management Principles at Structure
Fires.’’
The final document can be found at:
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2010153/.
Background and Summary of
Document: NIOSH has developed this
publication to assist the U.S. fire service
in preventing fire fighter injuries and
deaths at structure fires. Established fire
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703

service risk management principles
suggest that caution should be exercised
in abandoned, vacant and unoccupied
structures and in situations where there
is no clear evidence indicating that
people are trapped inside the structure
and can be saved. This publication
summarizes fatality statistics from the
National Fire Protection Association as
well as the NIOSH Fire Fighter Fatality
Investigation and Prevention Program
(FFFIPP) databases. The publication
describes four case studies on the deaths
of five fire fighters and injuries to 10
others during fire suppression
operations in and around structures
with considerable fire involvement
where there were indications that the
structures were unoccupied. The
publication presents a number of
recommendations for preventing similar
occurrences of fire fighter injuries and
deaths. The primary audiences are
expected to be fire commissioners, fire
chiefs, fire department and municipal
managers, fire fighters, labor unions,
safety and health professionals, trainers,
fire investigators, State fire marshals,
and other interested parties.
This guidance publication does not
have the force and effect of law.
Document Review Process: Following
development of the initial draft, the
document was reviewed by peers and
external stakeholders within the fire
service and revisions were made based
upon these reviews. The revised draft
document was posted in the Federal
Register for public review and comment
from January 5 to March 9, 2009. Public
comments submitted to NIOSH Public
Docket 141 can be viewed at the Web
site https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docket/
nioshdocket0141.html. The draft
document was revised to address these
public comments. The most substantive
revisions were to change the title and
focus of the document from fighting
fires in unoccupied structures to using
established risk management principles
at all structure fires, regardless of the
occupancy status. The majority of
comments received during the public
comment period made it clear that the
U.S. fire service would not support the
recommendation that fire fighters avoid
entering unoccupied structures, the
focus of the original draft. A final draft
containing revisions made to address
comments received during the public
comment period was reviewed by
representatives from both the
International Association of Fire Chiefs
(IAFC) and the International Association
of Fire Fighters (IAFF).
