Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report: Fire Fighter Dies After Returning from Mutual-Aid Fire Call in Connecticut
On February 18, 2001, a 53-year-old male fire fighter responded to and staged at a shopping mall fire which was quickly controlled. After returning to quarters, he parked the engine-tanker he had driven and then a rescue truck in their respective apparatus bays. He was found approximately 1 1/2 hours later, in the driver's seat of the rescue truck, in cardiorespiratory arrest. Due to his clinical appearance, resuscitation was not attempted. The death certificate listed 'cardiac arrest' as the immediate cause of death, with hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus as contributing factors. No laboratory studies or autopsy were done.
