First Responders
GEAR UP FOR THE FIREFIGHTER CHALLENGE!
Firefighters are disproportionately affected by lung disease, including lung cancer.
Firefighters experience exposure to gases, chemicals, and smoke in the line of duty, causing damaging lung health effects.
Smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths.
