Bob,
thanks for that, it's a great help. I have managed to gather enough evidence now with your info to present a case. We here in Ireland had a double fatality a number of years back when a firefighter and Gardai (policeman) were both struck and killed by a drunk driver whilst attending an RTC. Since then a change of policy and training have gone along way to preventing a similar thing happening again. But this report will go someway to secure funding for more emergency Traffic equipment to go on line, thus potentially saving lives in the future.
Thanks for all your help in this matter.
All the Best
Dave Ind.

Thanks for that info, it will defiantly help.
Is there any chance you could highlight any that have been injured/killed whilst actually dealing with an RTA? I would be particularly interested to hear about ones that have been struck be moving vehicles whilst dealing with a road based incident. i.e. RTA or car fire? in the last 35 years or from 1980 onward.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
I would also like to thank you for collating this information in the first place.
research of this nature all be it sombre, can mean that we all have an opportunity to learn from the past. It can have a great bearing on, and add weight to a report when you can put names to otherwise  clinical numbers and statistics.
So thanks again.
Dave.

Hi Wilkybob,
That's fine UK based incidents are what I am looking for, as we base all procedures on UK best practice.
The purpose of report is to highlight the dangers, as we use the same procedures the information is relevant here in the republic.

Hi I am a serving member of the Irish Fire brigade and have been asked to find case studies of Firefighters who have died or been seriously injured whilst on duty attending road based incidents.
I have hit a brick wall when it comes to ones that have died whilst actually attending an incident. I have all the info on those that have died as a result of RTA's on route to, or back from an incident, but hardly any info regards those that have lost their lives at an RTA incident.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it will form the bases for a report for senior officers highlighting the dangers of attending road based incidents in the future.
Regards
Dave Ind S.O. Lismore Fire Brigade.
