Since 2005, the nonprofit Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) has provided assistance and one-on-one mentoring to thousands of cancer-stricken firefighters and their families. FCSN also delivers firefighters cancer awareness and prevention training nationwide.
Videos, Training Briefs, and Education Presentations are provided courtesy of the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. The daily Training Briefs and Education Presentation Training Modules are good discussion tools for firefighters to help educate themselves on reducing the risk of occupational cancer. We encourage firefighters to take advantage of these training tools.

This organization was formed by the National Fallen Fire Fighters Foundation (NFFF) to address physical and psychological health issues, to increase awareness of those issues and how to prevent first responder deaths and injuries. This website has a special section regarding cancer, including many strategies on how to reduce exposure to carcinogens and other harmful materials, such as the “Defunk Your Bunk” series.
Age 40 and Above Who Actively (or Did) Respond to Fires
40 Plus Fire is a Fire Service group effort to help you, your family and departments better understand the PROSTATE CANCER PREVENTION, RISKS AND SOLUTIONS. It was started because firefighters are generally uneducated about PROSTATE CANCER.
This organization was jointly created by the group self-insurance funds of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia and the Georgia Municipal Association in 1988. LGRMS Provide a variety of loss prevention and loss control services to help local governments minimize the exposures that have the potential to cause losses.
