Fully Involved: GFBF First Responder Family Weekend

First Responders Family Weekend


It’s January, and that means it is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. We’re honored to partner with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) to provide a month-long education and advocacy campaign to reduce occupational cancer risks all across North America.
Each week of the month focuses on a specific theme. Each theme builds upon the previous week’s theme. By the end of the month, firefighters with have the knowledge and resources to understand how firefighters are exposed to carcinogens, what happens when they are exposed, how to prevent exposures, make culture changes in their department, and assist those who are diagnosed with cancer.
Check out the #FFCAM weekly schedule below. Print it out and post it on your station fridge. Forward this email to other firefighters across the country. Spread the word, knowledge, and resources, so we can eliminate cancer from the fire service together.
