Firefighter Injury Survey From the IAFC SHS
After nearly a year of researching, assessing, and discussing the importance of caring for the needs of emergency service workers who have been critically injured in the line of duty, the IAFC SHS board of directors is releasing a survey (link to survey is below) to collect more detailed and specific information on those needs. The survey will assist us in gathering resources and in developing SOGs for departments to use in the event a critical firefighter injury.

Please help us spread the word about this survey so that we can obtain as much information as possible. If you know of a firefighter or emergency medical service worker who has been injured, please let them know about this survey. It is confidential and the information gathered will only be reviewed by the project committee.
Thank you for helping us get the word out on this very important project.

We as a service have a tradition of ensuring that our lines of duty deaths are taken care of, yet all too often injured firefighters feel all but forgotten. We need to extend this proud tradition to take care of our injured. Pass this survey along to your department’s chief, comp administrators and follow firefighters. It is essential to support this program.
Be Safe,
