From the Paper:

"There is no standard presently that explains the enforcement of fire fighting, and there are many divergent opinions that exist with regard to the profession of firefighting. There are numerous studies that have been conducted that examine many contemporary issues related to fire fighting, including studies that focus on litigation and staffing and the validation of physical ability tests for fire fighting. Other studies examine the occupational risks, injuries and deaths associated with a career in fire science, linking the firefighter occupation with others and examining trends in firefighter risk. "
