1 More Killed 3 More Injured: Flaw in Our First Line of Defense
By Dr. Burton A. Clark, EFO, CFO
How many times a day do we, the fire service, fail to wear seat belts? How can we call ourselves a profession (volunteer or career) and a brotherhood and continue to let this happen? How can we tell a family that their firefighter is not coming home because the fire department seat belt policy was not followed or enforced? How many more funerals must we have?

IAFC Policies and Procedures for Emergency Vehicle Safety
Each year, firefighters and civilians die when vehicles operated by firefighters are involved in crashes while responding to or returning from emergencies. Many of these tragedies could be prevented through the proper implementation and application of standard operating procedures. The resources shown on this IAFC link will assist fire departments as they research and develop their own written policies and procedures for emergency vehicle safety.
