National Fire Fighter
Near-Miss Reporting System
The National Fire Fighter Near-Miss
Reporting System is now a reality. This program was designed to accomplish
one primary goal: to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries. Each of our
members are hereby encouraged to participate in the program by filing
reports, as appropriate, and accessing reports to become familiar with
lessons learned. The reports and lessons learned can easily be used as
subject matter for in-station training and drills.
Please review the PowerPoint program, which
provides an overview of the system, how to access it, and how to file
reports. This system provides us with a real opportunity to positively
impact the injury and death statistics for firefighters. It also is
another opportunity for us to do our part in meeting the goal of the
Fallen Firefighters' Foundation to reduce firefighter fatalities in half
over the next ten years.
