Currently Lehigh Fire smoke training this week at a soon-to-be-demolished residence off of Bruce Avenue S.
But Lehigh Acres Fire is planning a LIVE FIRE TRAINING on Bruce Ave S sometime shorty.
Over the past 10 years, 91 firefighters died during training activities. Ten of the 91 were fatally injured during recruit training, and 18 had one year of service or less.
NFPA reports ……
• Between 2009 and 2018, 12.9 percent of all on-duty fatalities occurred during training.
• The largest shares of deaths occurred during physical fitness training and apparatus and equipment drills, with both shares accounting for 34 percent of the training deaths.
• Three-quarters of the deaths were attributed to stress, overexertion, and medical causes.
• Sudden cardiac death accounted for two-thirds of the deaths.
• Most of the deaths occurred at the fire station or at off-site locations controlled by the fire department.
There is no good reason to do live-fire training until the training center is open and the area can be secured.
So basically y’all jinx the whole fire department because they wanna train
