This Is Good

From Firehouse.com: The number of firefighters who died while performing their duties last year continued on a downward trend.
There were 83 firefighter deaths last year, and of those 16 were classified as Hometown Heroes.
A person who dies of a heart attack or stroke within 24 hours of an emergency response is classified as a Hometown Hero, and is eligible for funds under PSOB.
There were 83 firefighter fatalities in 2011 as well, and 87 in 2010.
Heart attacks or cardiac-related issues continue to be the leading cause of firefighter deaths, cited in at least 34 cases, while trauma killed 27.
Eight firefighters died during training, and three were killed at blazes determined to have been intentionally set.
The statistics posted by the USFA are preliminary as information will be sent to all state fire marshals for verification and to make sure all firefighter deaths have been reported.
Of those who died, 40 were volunteers; 32 were career; four were wildland part-time; three wildland contract; and two paid on-call.
Records show that 23 died on the fire scene, and 17 afterward. A dozen died responding, while 15 were performing other duties.  http://www.firehouse.com/news/10847710/on-duty-firefighter-deaths-continue-downward-trend
And police officer deaths are also down in 2012, compared to 2011.  In 2011, there were 174 police officer deaths according to the Officer down Memorial Page (http://www.odmp.org/) and 126 in 2012.
Of course, you hope that we have zero police officer or firefighter deaths, but it is dangerous job and you hope that the cops and firefighters stay safe as possible.
