Fire Danger Index (FDR) Saves Lives

Guest Writer, Rob Janssen, reminds us we are approaching the peak fire danger season - and helps us gain an understanding or fire danger ratings and how they can save lives!

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there were an estimated 2.34 million deaths in 2013 as a result of work activities, and the greatest majority (2 million) are a result of health issues, rather than injuries.

These cases should not be ignored by placing the focus on accidents, which are more visible and generally result in immediate action.
