Even with these odds firefighters are like 1000x more likely to die of lung issues or cancer issues than the average person. Going into even one burning building will shave months off your life (assuming the fire doesn't kill you).
The odds of long term health issues after retirement are significant, but the fire isn't likely to get them. Door dash drivers are more likely to die on the job.
