Name
Cancer: Prevent it, Detect it Early, Survive It!
Description

Cancer exposure occurs on the fireground, in fire stations, and even from the gear designed to protect firefighters. Leveraging new 2020 analyses from the Center for Fire, Rescue, and EMS Health Research, the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) will reveal the cancers that impact the fire service most frequently, and best practices for reducing exposure and preventing cancer. FCSN will also share the services offered to firefighters and their family members in the unfortunate event that they do have to deal with a cancer diagnosis. There will also be a program teaching firefighters to recognize early warning signs of cancer.
