...whilst squaddies are working their sox off , firefighters do an equally hazardous (albeit in different areas) job
How many firefighters (including retained) are there and how many have been killed on duty in the past 10 years?
How many servicemen (including reservists) are there and how many have been killed on duty in the past 10 years?
Still reckon that the job is equally hazardous? Reducing the time period of sampling only makes the firefighters job
less hazardous by comparison, owing to the impact of Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, if trying to show the real level of hazard faced, try the comparison of firefighters against people resurfacing roads and you'll see that the latter claims more lives on the job!
