Help Protect Georgia's Firefighters

You put your life on the line every day. Now you can help save lives in a different way.

The National Firefighter Cancer Registry is collecting data to understand why firefighters face higher cancer rates. This research leads to better equipment, safer procedures, and healthier careers for everyone in the fire service.


Here's the reality:

Georgia ranks 49th out of 50 states in registry participation.

Only 702 Georgia firefighters out of 33,000 have registered.

Your 15 minutes matters.


Registering is quick, voluntary, and confidential. Your participation strengthens the data that protects future firefighters across the country.

Together, we can move Georgia up the rankings and build a safer future for our fire service family.

National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer

Each year, Georgia sets aside the first Tuesday of February to honor the brave men and women who serve as firefighters across our state. Firefighters Recognition Day is a time to acknowledge their dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our communities.

 

We are pleased to share the official proclamations for Firefighters Recognition Day 2025:

These proclamations continue Georgia’s longstanding tradition of recognizing and supporting our firefighters. On February 4, 2025, we encourage everyone to take a moment to thank the firefighters in your communities for their dedication and service.

 

Thank you for being part of this important annual recognition.
