KENS CBS 5 SAN ANTONIO January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month Firefighters are exposed to chemicals that can't be avoided in doing their job and some of those carcinogens are causing them to get cancer. "What we're finding through studies with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, NIOSH, is that firefighters face a significant greater risk of getting cancer and dying from cancer based on occupational hazard exposures," said Al Vitolo, legislative director of the Wichita Falls Professional Fire Fighters Association. Studies from NIOSH identified firefighters have a greater chance of being diagnosed with dying from cancer. Some of what puts firefighters at risk for developing cancer are soot from firefighting and carcinogens that come in through openings in the gear they wear.

INDY STAR - METERED SITE IAFF Designates January as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month Fire fighter occupational cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service. In 2019, more than 75% of the names of fire fighters added to the IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Wall of Honor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, were of members who died from occupational cancer. In partnership with the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN), the IAFF has designated January as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to support those with a cancer diagnosis within their departments. Bringing increased public awareness to occupational cancer in the fire service will help generate greater legislative support for states and provinces to establish presumptive disabilities for all cancers affecting fire fighters. IAFF.ORG An explosion in bitter cold headlined a tragic day in 1962 for Missouri fire department On Jan. 10, 1962, all the talk was about bitter cold. At 3 p.m., with the temperature only 4 degrees, Carson Crocker was cutting a customer's hair at 702 Chouteau Avenue. Police officer Kenneth Jones tried to stay warm in his patrol car one block away. Major Nesbit worked inside the Ralston Purina feed mill that towered over the neighborhood just south of downtown. The quiet chill was shattered at 3:20 p.m., when a grain-dust explosion ripped through the Ralston mill, at Seventh and Gratiot streets. The blast blew open Crocker's front door, showered airborne debris around Jones' car and threw Nesbit across the room. "I heard this 'whoom' and there was fire everywhere," Nesbit said. "I crawled until I could see and then I cut out of there." It was the beginning of one of St. Louis' biggest fires, and one of the wildest nights ever for the St. Louis Fire Department. In temperatures that quickly froze their water sprays, firefighters fought two general-alarm fires and handled 44 other calls. ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH - METERED SITE Fire chief in Wisconsin delivers COVID message City of Burlington Fire Chief Alan Babe has an important message for Racine County residents who look to help first responders as the area continues to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Babe, selected from among many chiefs in Racine County, narrates a public service announcement through county social media feeds and on YouTube about stopping COVID-19 transmission.

"One choice can set off a domino effect. The small choices, the ones we make every day matter for our community," Babe said. "Our essential workers and first responders have been working around the clock to protect us, our loved ones and our community during this public health crisis." Babe said working together for the community can help overcome the challenging disease, which has infected thousands of Racine County residents. MY RACINE COUNTY PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
