International Association of Fire Fighters 6th District

January is Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness month. Let’s reduce the risk of occupational cancer through awareness and prevention. #FFcancerMonth #FightFFCancer

Happy New Year from the IAFF 6th District! To those working New Years Eve and Day thank you for working to protect your communities on the frontlines. IAFF Canada - AIP

From all the Fire Fighters, Paramendics, and Dispatchers of the IAFF 6th District, we would like to wish everyone a very safe and Merry Christmas. To all our members working today on the frontlines to keep their communities safe, thank you and be safe!

Research shows that fire fighters are more likely to be diagnosed with certain types of cancer than the general public a trend that the IAFF and FCSN are working to reduce. Look for targeted education about best practices and resources to reduce the impact of cancer on fire fighters throughout January. #ReducetheRisk

Unfortunately, this is a common issue across the fire service in Canada.
