The ‘office’ of a firefighter is obviously not as safe as a cubicle or another office space may be. Often, the office of a firefighter is out in the city streets, encountering any number of extremely dangerous situations.that may lead to on-the-job injuries including broken bones, burns, and even, to death. A few common the on-the-job injuries a firefighter faces each day are:

• Severe burns
• Hernias
• Pneumonia
• Cancer (from smoke inhalation)
• Exposure to toxic chemicals
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Broken bones

Many of these injuries are irreversible and may affect firefighters ability to provide for themselves and their family If you’re a firefighter who has been injured on the job, you are likely entitled to workers' compensation benefits for medical bills, lost wages, and disability benefits.
