A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our Annual 15 Week Party a fantastic success!

This year, we had the special opportunity to capture a group photo of some of our current firefighters and some of our retired firefighters.

We’re grateful for all who participated and look forward to many more memorable gatherings!

Occupational cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service.

In 2025, nearly 80% of International Association of Fire Fighters member line-of-duty deaths were due to occupational cancer.

Every January, in honor of Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month, we aim to raise public awareness of occupational cancer in the fire service and equip firefighters with the information and tools they need to reduce their risk.
