Cancer Awareness & Prevention

The 2025 Cancer Awareness & Prevention supplement explains how the simplicity of the so-called Green Bucket for on-scene fireground decontamination prompts use by firefighters; Tucson, AZ, Fire Department's commitment to annual cancer screenings; the importance of the work of Firefighter48 Foundation; and why departments and officers must counter members' tendency to follow a path of normalization of deviance when it comes to their personal efforts to reduce the risk of cancer. Firehouse thanks the First Responder Center for Excellence for its support of this critical project.
