Hey, Whatever you do-please pass on the below document (at least page 15) or just forward this TSL to every Firefighter or Firefighter e-group you know. Please. In most cases. fortunately, most Firefighters do not personally know a Firefighter who has died in the line of duty. Unfortunately, however, in most cases, nearly every Firefighter knows a Firefighter that has-or has had cancer. It's in every firehouse and/or department. 1 in 3 Firefighters will be diagnosed with some form of cancer. It's a big deal. The FCSN white paper "Taking Action Against Cancer in the Fire Service" was released today. You are going to hear a lot about this document-take a moment to download it and read it.. If nothing else, check out PAGE 15 of the document. Here's the document link: The intention of the paper is to discuss what we currently know regarding firefighting cancer, and it pinpoints the various items that we need to learn more about. Below is a video well worth checking out-notice the video is not a bunch of old Firefighters...it's young and middle aged ones. That in itself is sobering. Take Care. Be Careful. Pass It On.
