Schedule a date and time to have our team come to your fire station to provide in-depth training for clean air, clean body, and clean gear cancer prevention methods.
Building a successful cancer program within your station won’t happen overnight. The videos give you all the tools you need to start saving firefighter lives but you can get more support to help aid you in your journey.
If you would like to receive in-depth training for your fire station you can schedule a FREE in-person presentation with our CAPP team today.
In-person training includes:
One of our program’s main goals is to share what we’ve built and make our program accessible to Firefighters and fire stations everywhere by providing it for free.
We’ve made it easier for fire stations and departments to take what we’ve created and implement it to initiate change. You can order informative posters that include information about peers who have won their battle against cancer, warning and identifier stickers to place throughout the stations as task reminders, and other helpful resources to help start your own program.
If you believe in staying on air,
If you believe in washing your gear,
If you believe in doing the small things every day that stand to make a big difference over the course of your career,
Then put this sticker on the back of your helmet and show everyone that you believe in doing the right thing!
You don’t have to know everything, but you should know yourself and your body pretty well. So if something seems off, you should head to your health care provider and talk to them about it as soon as possible. Listen to your friends, coworkers, and family – they know you pretty well too. While we don’t want anything to ever happen to you, we do want you to be healthy and well taken care of. Being a firefighter or the family of a firefighter can be difficult, and there are many health hazards that can come with the job. That being said, even if you are curious, you should be screened for cancer. Early detection can make a world of difference for many cancer warriors.
It can be very scary, and we understand that. However, you are NEVER alone. We are here for you; your brothers and sisters in the fire service are here for you; and your family is here for you. Please be sure to get regular screenings, wipe down and shower after responding to a fire, wash your turnouts, and wear your breather to help reduce your risks. Additionally, keep yourself educated.
Check out some of the additional resources below to be sure you know warning signs, possible carcinogen origins, and more. If you have questions, please talk to your health care provider as soon as possible. We are all here with you through this journey.
