Every minute first responders are not on scene, can cause further complications or even death.
Delays not only hinder our first responders from reaching emergency scenes swiftly and safely but also jeopardize both their lives and the lives of those in need. It is disheartening to note that vehicle fatality rates for emergency responders are estimated to be up to 4.8 times higher than the national average, underscoring the urgent need for improved safety measures in this vital field.
- There are an estimated 6,500 accidents involving ambulances each year. Of those killed in an ambulance accident:
- 63% were occupants of a passenger vehicle
- 21% were passengers in the ambulance
- 4% were the ambulance drivers
- 12% were non-occupants.
- Between 2000-2009, there were roughly 31,600 accidents involving fire vehicles.
- 49 of those accidents resulted in at least one fatality to an occupant of the firetruck.
- Most of these accidents occur due to heavy traffic.
