The National Firefighter Registry (NFR): Why Every Firefighter Should Join
Description

Andrea Wilkinson from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will present on the National Firefighter Registry (NFR). The NFR, created through the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act of 2018, will be a voluntary registry of firefighters for evaluating cancer incidence and risk factors among this workforce. All firefighters—structural and wildland, career and volunteer, active and retired, those who have had cancer and those who have never had cancer—are encouraged to join once the NFR opens for enrollment. By providing vital information about their own health and work experiences, firefighters will play a critical role in increasing the understanding of the health risks this profession faces. There will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions regarding the NFR.
