====Violence==== Firefighters have occasionally been assaulted by members of the public while responding to calls. These kinds of attacks can cause firefighters to fear for their safety when responding to specific areas and may cause them to not have full focus on the situation which could result in injury to their selves or the patient.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Rapid Response: Firefighters describe alarming moments during riots|url=https://www.firerescue1.com/firefighter-safety/articles/rapid-response-firefighters-describe-alarming-moments-during-riots-iftvQ2TdlzaaGo1W/|access-date=2020-12-05|website=FireRescue1|language=en}}</ref> Workplace violence<ref name="Murray-2019">{{Cite journal |last1=Murray |first1=Regan M. |last2=Davis |first2=Andrea L. |last3=Shepler |first3=Lauren J. |last4=Moore-Merrell |first4=Lori |last5=Troup |first5=William J. |last6=Allen |first6=Joseph A. |last7=Taylor |first7=Jennifer A. |date=2019-12-16 |title=A Systematic Review of Workplace Violence Against Emergency Medical Services Responders |journal=NEW SOLUTIONS: A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy |language=en |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=487β503 |doi=10.1177/1048291119893388 |issn=1048-2911 |pmc=8594050 |pmid=31841060|bibcode=2020NewSo..29..487M }}</ref> consists of the mental and physical abuse sustained during on-duty activities. First Responders are the most likely to experience this type of violence and EMS even has a percentage range of 53-90% of calls that had an instance of Workplace violence. This type of violence is a major reason for burnout and depression in First Responders, while EMS deal more with people on a daily basis, ~18% Firefighters experience PTSD due to WPV<ref name="Murray-2019" /> and 60% had at least one call where they had feared for their life or questioned their safety.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Setlack |first=Jennifer |date=2019-04-02 |title=Workplace violence and mental health of paramedics and firefighters |url=http://hdl.handle.net/1993/34347 |journal=University of Manitoba |hdl=1993/34347 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Murray |first1=Regan M. |last2=Davis |first2=Andrea L. |last3=Shepler |first3=Lauren J. |last4=Moore-Merrell |first4=Lori |last5=Troup |first5=William J. |last6=Allen |first6=Joseph A. |last7=Taylor |first7=Jennifer A. |date=February 2020 |title=A Systematic Review of Workplace Violence Against Emergency Medical Services Responders |journal=NEW SOLUTIONS: A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy |language=en |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=487β503 |doi=10.1177/1048291119893388 |issn=1048-2911 |pmc=8594050 |pmid=31841060|bibcode=2020NewSo..29..487M }}</ref>
