Traffic incident management systems

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) is committed to reducing onduty firefighter fatalities by 25 percent within 5 years and 50 percent within 10 years. It also is committed to doing research that would support that goal. The consistently high annual percentage of fatalities related to fire department response and roadway scene operations prompted the USFA to look at several aspects related to these collisions in an effort to improve responder safety. Firefighters who are killed in privately owned vehicles (POVs) during the course of their duties account for the largest percentage of vehicle-related deaths. These are typically volunteer firefighters who are responding to or returning from emergency calls. However, career firefighters also are killed occasionally in POVs during the performance of their duties.
