Lung cancer affects firefighters at higher rates than the general population, and you may know someone who has been personally impacted by occupational cancers such as lung cancer. In the event of a diagnosis, MnFIRE resources can provide relief.
All active Minnesota firefighters are automatically enrolled in MnFIRE’s Critical Illness Program and are eligible to receive a lump-sum cash payment up to $20,000 after diagnoses of critical illnesses like lung cancer.

Take a moment and think about your male colleagues, friends and family members. When was the last time you asked one of them how they’re feeling?
It’s important we keep challenging the fire service’s culture of silence and encourage men to ask for help when they may need it, as emotional distress can affect daily life, work, relationships and overall well-being. Discover ways to support men's mental health in our latest blog:

Firefighters are exposed to traumatic stress at particularly high rates, and getting help from someone who has lived similar experiences can make all the difference.
That's where MnFIRE's Peer Support Program comes in. MnFIRE peer supporters are here to provide confidential support to those experiencing personal, emotional or work-related problems, and one of them can help you today. Call 888-784-6634 or learn more at mnfireinitiative.com/peer-support/
