This happened at the 17th annual east Texas area Fall Smoke Diver School in Beaumont. Investigators did not release specific details. They would only say the two firefighters suffered heat-related injuries in two separate accidents.

Both firefighters are listed in critical condition.

  1. Firefighting is a very dangerous job. Aside from braving the fire, firefighters also have to face unexpected things that can worsen the incident. That’s why firefighters need to undergo intensive training to be perfectly fit for the position. The training is supposed to be a safe preparation for a firefighter, but it didn’t happen in this one. It took one life instead. I hope the firefighter from Georgia is now recovering well.
