I am familiar with the firefighter LODD. They are staying steady around 100 a year in a normal year. Modern lightweight building construction has made the profession more dangerous which seems like an oxymoron. Truss construction has led to less aggressive interior firefighting because of the risk of unpredictable collapse in buildings where it is used.

Plus there are far fewer structure fires do to improvements in building codes and the use of sprinklers.
