“…Martin et al [4] examined 3036 firefighters from a single large, urban fire department and found rates of career suicidal ideation and attempts to be 9.8% and 1.4%, respectively. 1 Finally, a study of women firefighters found rates of career suicidal ideation and attempts to be 37.7% and 3.5%, respectively [5]. Converging research has highlighted that protective service workers, a category inclusive of firefighters, evince relatively higher rates of death by suicide [6,7], underscoring the need to understand factors that may amplify suicide risk among firefighters in order to inform prevention and intervention efforts.…”
