Firefighters who ride outside an engine can be killed when they are thrown off or when the vehicle rolls..bmp

The lack of PPE, or the failure to use it correctly, has been a direct factor in many of the 39 burnover fatalities.bmp

Rotary wing operations frequently require helicopters to hover for long periods, reducing the likelihood that the helicopter can autorotate to a safe landing if engine problems occur..bmp

Burnovers are the leading cause of death.bmp

Other causes of death among State employees include heart attacks (2), aircraft accidents (2), falling snags (2), and heat stress.bmp

More than half of the fatalities from 1990 to 1998 occurred in the Southern, Rocky Mountain, and California Regions.bmp
