Our friends at HERO Beverage Co. have launched a line of specialty dark roast coffee with a portion of proceeds being donated to fund our mission and vision. We know you're going to drink coffee everyday so you might as well drink a cup that was created specifically for FCSN. When you start your day with Firefighter Blend you’ll know that you are helping a firefighter somewhere in the U.S. continue their fight against the toughest obstacle they’ve ever had to face, cancer.

The first annual Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month has ended and we want to hear from you! How did we do and what can we do better? Please take this short survey. #FightFFCancer #FFCancerMonth

The IAFF and FCSN's first annual Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month is coming to an end, but our work is far from over! We encourage those who were not able to commit to safety stand downs in the month of January to schedule one (or more). Keep using the factsheets and training briefs to assist each other and your department to further education. All Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month resources will permanently remain on our website. To further solidify your ongoing commitme...nt to the prevention of firefighter occupational cancer, we invite you to sign the online pledge and encourage you to use the comment space to honor those we have lost to - or are currently fighting - occupational cancer. I pledge to do everything in my power to reduce my risk of contracting job-related cancers, for my health and to protect my loved ones. I also promise to be diligent in protecting my brothers and sisters from inadvertent exposures that can lead to occupational diseases. Together, we can improve the safety of our own and ensure we are able to serve the public we have sworn to protect. Together we can make a difference. https://buff.ly/3otyLgo #FightFFCancer #FFCancerMonth
