Dayton, Ohio- The Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) announced today that LION, manufacturer of structural fire, personal protective clothing for first responders and provider of turnout care and maintenance services, has become a Sustaining Partner.
This announcement, made at the 2017 Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, IN shows LION’s commitment and concern toward the reduction of cancer in the fire service and support of the important work being done by FCSN to help first responders and their families following a cancer diagnosis. LION is hosting multiple events at the show to raise money to support FCSN, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
“LION’s partnership with FCSN will help us continue to support firefighters and their families when they need us the most,” said FCSN President Bryan Frieders, a deputy chief with the Pasadena (Calif.) Fire Department. “We want to reduce firefighters’ exposure to carcinogens as much as possible.”
