A recent NIOSH report found that a volunteer firefighter was killed when a tanker backing out of the fire station fatally struck him. According to the report, the volunteer fire department had participated in a motorcycle benefit for a children’s cancer organization and were using their apparatus to control traffic for the event. Tanker 72 returned to the station after the benefit and the driver was backing it into the bay when firefighter Donald Ishman walked behind the tanker approximately 30 feet away. Another firefighter heard Ishman yelling at the driver and noticed that the right rear wheels were on his leg and he was down on the parking pad.
