According to statistics provided by the United States Fire Administration there are 1,082,500 firefighters in the US. On average, 100 US firefighters die in the line of duty each year. If we say there are a million firefighters and an average of 100 die each year, this means that there is a 1 in 10,000 chance in a US firefighter dying in the line of duty.
