Be aware of the cancer threat



Contributed by: FireRescue1 Staff


Firefighters are a high-risk demographic for contracting cancer and should be on the lookout for signs and symptoms. Encourage the firefighters in your department to get screened annually for specific types of cancers for which they may be at risk. If it has been over a year since the last screening, make the appointment today.
