It’s heart breaking that we continue to kill over 100 firefighters every year in the line of duty. As firefighters we have a responsibility to not just honor the fallen but to also learn from them. In this assignment you will be assigned a Line of Duty Death to research, you will provide details about the fallen firefighter, their department, and the events / circumstances surrounding their deaths.

You will be given additional details regarding this assignment by Instructor Roark in an upcoming class.
