Learning Objective: The student will be able to explain the importance of the Vulnerability Assessment Program (VAP) in identifying risk factors leading to firefighter injuries and line-of-duty deaths (LODDs). The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), in conjunction with Honeywell and the U.S. Fire Administration, has developed and released the VAP, an online assessment tool that provides fire departments with a systematic process to evaluate risks and ultimately reduce the threat of firefighter injuries and deaths.
