The aim of this study was to assess the type of occupational injuries, duty status, and factors associated with injuries among firefighters. A total of 437 firefighters from three U.S. states participated in an Internet-based survey. Approximately 66% of firefighters experienced occupational injuries and 56% reported multiple injuries. The most commonly reported injuries were muscle strains and sprains (74%), extremity injuries (60%), back injuries (54%), and burns (28%). A significant number of firefighters reported no duty (58%) or modified duty (46%). Firefighters with more than 17 years in fire services were more likely to report injuries (odds ratio [OR] = 2.96; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.92–4.58) and multiple injuries (OR = 2.47; 95% CI = 1.49–4.10). Hispanics (OR = 0.34; 95% CI = 0.15–0.76) and those with stronger organizational commitments (OR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.35–0.84) were less likely to report injuries. Several factors were associated with injuries. These factors should be incorporated into interventions to reduce occupational injuries.
