What are the risks? Even among public employees I'd imagine firefighters are in dangerous situations more often. The data doesn't show that policing is an especially high-risk profession. EDIT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48095469

Most of firefighting is actually getting called because someone had a heart attack. Actually fighting fires is a tiny proportion of their job.
