Does anyone know where to find statistics about military firefighter suicides?

That would be interesting if there was a tracker for MOSs. Hopefully someone knows a way to do it.

I doubt that they are kept by MOS.
Only stats I have seen break it down by component and branch of service, then those who have deployed and those who haven't.
It is a tough job, one that can have really bad days in it.

I know that civilian Firefighter suicides are right up there with LE Officer suicides, WAY TOO HIGH!
