Thank you, @DeborahStVicto1, for taking the time to write about Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. This article highlights the risks firefighters face—putting their lives on the line while battling toxic exposures that increase their chances of developing cancer no matter how much they do to protect themselves.

Researchers, clinicians & advocates from around the globe packed the National PFAS Conference @UMich. Your @IAFFofficial stood with whistleblowers from 3M & DuPont to speak about the devastating health impacts PFAS cause to fire fighters and our families.
@GetSkinHelpNow#SkinCancer is the leading cause of #firefighter cancer in #Ontario. Use tools such as this & regular skins inspections as well as yearly visits to your doctor to ensure you remain healthy. You inspect the apparatus every shift - shouldn’t you do the same for you and your family
Great opportunity to attend Queens Park for reading of the Budget, thanks to @fordnation announcing funding to protect firefighters & communities & commitment for simultaneous notification in Halton Region which provides quicker emergency notification.

FF Cancer Awareness Month Shout out to my CND advocacy & support mentors. The energy @Luke_Pedersen_ brings to prevention & wellness is contagious. @GavinKita8 & @burlingtonprc give selflessly to FF & families across the province. For @jotoole834 advocacy is always front & center
Thanks to lobbying efforts, our friends in Parliament and the members doing the ground work this is the very first Nationally Recognized Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month in Canada! Thank you to all those involved.
Between approximately 12am-2am this morning, Firefighters & staff from the @OttawaHospital moved 17 neonatal ICU babies from the 8th floor ICU down the stairs to be taken to @CHEO due to the power loss. Most of the babies were under 1000 grams (2.2 pounds).
Also, prior to midnight, Firefighters also carried 4 women in labour down the stairs using chairs & multiple women who had just given birth so they could be brought to different hospitals. #OttNews
It is with profound sadness that we inform of the sudden passing of our Brother John Lindsay. Our thoughts are with John’s family and friends at this very difficult time.
Work-related Cancer is the # 1 killer of fire fighters. PFAS chemicals in our PPE 🧥 are the most frequent and continual occupational exposure fire fighters have. I am looking forward to sharing our @IAFFPresident & @IAFFofficial members concerns about our chronic PFAS exposure.
