Interventions involving animals accounted for 8.8% of all firefighter operations. An analysis was conducted to identify the most common cause (species) and location (body area) of firefighter injuries in rescue and firefighting operations with animals. The most common cause of injuries was identified (species): dog (13%), cat (31%), hymenoptera (25%) and the location of injury to firefighters (body area): hand (55%), head (16%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall number of injuries is small compared to the number of incidents with animals, which may be related to good firefighter protection and effective procedures. To avoid zoonotic injuries to the palm area, fire trucks should be provided with a set of general-use veterinary gloves\u2009+\u2009disposable nitrile gloves that will ensure hygiene when used by many people. The interventions towards animals throughout Poland are on a large scale, which creates a health risk for firefighters, as rescued animals under stress and towards strangers behave in an unpredictable manner, adequate to a given stress reaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10519815241291417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T06:53:44Z","timestamp":1739256824000},"page":"1223-1230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Zoonotic health hazards to Polish firefighters during rescue and fire-fighting operations"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"80","author":[{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Dudzi\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"John Paul II University, Biala Podlaska, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Kasperczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Fire Service, Dzier\u017coni\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcin","family":"Weiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"John Paul II University, Biala Podlaska, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Czy\u017cewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Warsaw Medical University, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"International Occupational Hazard Safety Data Sheet- Firefighter. https:\/\/www.ciop.pl\/ (accessed 27 January 2024)."},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5604\/12321966.1185775"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","unstructured":"Main Command of the State Fire Service.
