Bridging the knowledge gap
Article Abstract:
The tragedy that cost four Warwickshire firefighters their lives in November 2007 calls for officials to review the measures that ensure the safety of firefighters. A research paper by Viv Brunsden entitled, 'Violence at work: experiences of Fire and Rescue Service personnel' examines the reports of attacks on firefighters. The need for such research in enhancing knowledge in firefighter safety measures is investigated.
