We know that firefighters face cancer at a higher rate than the general public. But there are still several unknowns surrounding the connection between firefighters and their increased risks for cancer. The NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer is aiming to close that gap by helping researchers better understand and reduce the risk of cancer among U.S. firefighters.
Learn how firefighters with AND without cancer diagnoses can join the NFR in our latest blog:

Firefighters face risks that go beyond the call – including a higher risk of cancer. This month and always, we honor the many firefighters and family members whose lives have been touched by cancer.
Through the MnFIRE Critical Illness Program, Minnesota firefighters can receive up to $20,000 after a diagnosis. Could this help you or someone you know? Learn more and share: mnfireinitiative.com/hhap/#CI
