In response to the extreme heat conditions, Glendale Firefighters Association and management have collaborated to put more fire trucks into service today. There is an excessive heat warning for Glendale and surrounding areas, with temperatures expected to reach 115 degrees.

When I was 2 years old my house caught on fire & I was trapped inside, I ended up dying that day & this firefighter, Jeff Ohs, saved me from that building & brought my back to life. Now 23 years later he is holding my 2 year old son. I literally wouldn’t be here without him

In a groundbreaking agreement, the City of Glendale and its firefighters have reached a deal to cover all cancer claims if they get denied by their third party insurer.

We've reported on a rocky past of claim denials for years in Glendale - now they're leading the charge for change for Arizona firefighters. This is a huge deal.

Yesterday, Governor @dougducey signed SB1451 into law. SB1451 solidifies previous efforts to protect Firefighters and their right to healthcare while battling occupational cancer. Our firefighters are humbled and thankful for all those who helped. #GlendaleAz #PFFA #Local493

The mother of a Valley firefighter who had to fight for benefits while dying of occupational cancer called the new law his "promise to his brothers and sisters in the fire service." https://t.co/H9m0bvsu1Z

Thank you to our @GFFCharities team for helping out Chris and his neighbors. Proud to serve our community on and off duty. #GlendaleAz #Local493

When his neighbor suffered a sudden and unexpected loss our friend Chris stepped up to help. Chris opened his home up to 6 children during their time of need. Thanks to our partnership with @FrysFoodStores we were able to ensure that they were well fed over the holiday.

Great news for Firefighters across Arizona! Thank you for your tireless work @PaulDBoyer #PFFA #GlendaleAz #Local493 @IAFFNewsDesk

[Paul Boyer 🇺🇸 @PaulDBoyer]

A huge thank you to the House for voting on my firefighter cancer bill that we've been working on for 6 years. It's now on its way up to the Governor! #ProtectOurHeroes #cancersucks

[Glendale Az Fire Fighters Local 493 @GFFAzL493]

We have seen cancer affect too many of our Sisters and Brothers. The last thing anyone wants to deal with while fighting cancer is to also fight Insurance Companies and Worker’s Comp Claims. We are appreciative of the hard work being done on our behalf. #GlendaleAz #Local493

[KTAR News 92.3 @KTAR923]

Bills in both the Arizona House and Senate could help firefighters who get cancer on the job receive workers' compensation.
