National Fire Fighter Near Miss Reporting System

The National Fire Fighter Near Miss Reporting System is a database of incidents which could have been an Line of Duty Death but luckily were not. The website is defined by the stories which firefighters submit about a "Near Miss". The sites sole purpose is to increase Fire Fighter Safety and Awareness. The stories are voluntary, confidential, and non-punitive. Firewhirl has been following the near miss stories and chronicles them each week. I have been following along. Please check out the frontline stories which tell of near disasters. I am sure most of you firefighters have stories which would warrant a story on this site. We have all seen incidents which could have been a lot worse. I think every firefighter should check into this site and read some of the stories. Maybe it will prevent an accident in the future.
