“We didn’t sign up to forfeit our health for a paycheck” @pffpnc DVP & Raleigh Battalion Chief Keith Wilder speaking with @RepDavidRLewis about presumptive cancer legislation in NC #TogetherWeRise#LessTalkMoreAction
We encourage the @NCLeg to pass the budget before them and to get these new cancers funded in the LODD benefit. While we understand politics is at play, it’s important for legislators to know that firefighters are dying of occupational cancers and we don’t have time for games.
Cancer is killing our nation's firefighters! In NC, @PFFPNC is the only fire service group fighting for presumptive cancer laws. Representatives @RepDavidRLewis @JasonSaine97th @JohnBellNC have pushed HB520 through the house. We now need Senate to act!

The NC Industrial Commission has ruled Assistant FM Karen Shuart's death from cancer as a line of duty death. This ruling validates the growing crisis of the increase in cancer among firefighters which is now the leading cause of death. #Avlnews#avltoday#Cancer
Great work by @WLOS_13’s @FrankKracher. @ncfirefighters shouldn’t be on the hook for occupational cancer. #NcHouse passed presumptive cancer legislation, now we need #NCSenate’s help w/ Hb520. @PFFPNC @IAFFNewsDesk https://t.co/5ItgsG1C5z
