Interestingly, according to a Bureau of Labor Statics report, neither firemen nor police are among the most dangerous jobs in terms of fatalities.
As it turns out, logging is the most dangerous job according on-the-job fatality rates.

properly right here in Phoenix, Az. being a police officer is an extremely dangerously because of the fact there is countless gang interest and that they risk their lives going into gang infested neighborhoods. yet so is a fireman activity is likewise very risky because of the incredibly dry climate, so residences and such burn plenty quicker. i think of firemen get greater appreciate because of the fact countless people do no longer basically like the police because of the fact they do some thing incorrect and take out their anger on them.

I remember a study of the most dangerous jobs. I think the top two were commercial fisherman and miners. I believe their on-the-job mortality rates are higher than those for firefighters or police.
