Numbers To Action: Cancer In The Fire Service

All Clear - A Firefighter Health & Wellness Podcast

Can cancer prevention become a standard part of every firefighter's daily routine? We tackle this urgent question with the help of the North Carolina Firefighter Cancer Alliance, shedding light on the alarming cancer risks that come with being a firefighter. From testicular cancer to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, learn how toxic exposures on the job increase vulnerability. This episode offers you five vital steps to protect yourself and your crew, like the crucial use of SCBA masks during overhaul and rigorous decontamination practices post-fire.
But it's not just about personal safety—it's a call for a united front. We emphasize the importance of community and decision-maker involvement in ensuring firefighters have the support and equipment they need to stay safe. We invite you to join us in spreading awareness and fostering collaboration across the fire service community to combat this invisible threat. Together, let’s take action to improve firefighter wellness and keep the inner fire alive, protecting those who dedicate their lives to protecting others.
