Firefighter Close Calls

Home of the Secret List

Close Calls

This section is devoted to those who have been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty with the hope that those who visit this site will PREVENT "HISTORY FROM REPEATING ITSELF" OUR GOAL is for you, as a FIREFIGHTER to LEARN from these "events" and TAKE THE INFORMATION BACK TO YOUR FIREFIGHTERS and SHARE IT WITH THEM!

Each one of these "CLOSE CALLS" can happen ANYWHERE! Each of these FD's thought that "today was gonna just be another day"... just like you and I... and then BAM! Something goes wrong. Please take this information and use it, print it, forward it, post it and do WHATEVER IT TAKES to pass it on and NEVER GIVE UP on focusing on FIREFIGHTER SAFETY! Each CASE STUDY in this section is based upon the writers description of the events.

Be sure to read FIREHOUSE MAGAZINE each month and learn ADDITIONAL LESSONS LEARNED from the CLOSE CALLS COLUMN.

Due to the overwhelming number of Close Calls we receive, we have filed them into 6 main categories. Click on a category to view the Close Calls:

  • STRUCTURAL
  • APPARATUS/VEHICLE/HIGHWAY
  • WILDLAND
  • TRAINING/DRILLS
  • HAZMAT
  • RESCUE/EMS
  • MISCELLANEOUS
