While the overall firefighter fatality rate has been relatively stable since the 1970s, the rate of firefighter fatalities due to traumatic (non-medical) cause during structural firefighting has increased. These fatalities commonly result from the following three types of events: 

• Caught or trapped by extreme fire behavior
• Structural collapse
• Disoriented, lost, and running out of air
  (frequently following extreme fire behavior or collapse)
