Firefighters, including volunteer firefighters, face a 9% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer compared to the general population in the U.S., according to the CDC. Yet, despite this risk, most firefighters do not have access to potentially life-saving early diagnosis screenings. The Pennsylvania Legislature is trying to change that. Please support this important bill.

Every year in Pennsylvania, there are nearly 76,000 newly diagnosed cases of cancer. Leaders met at the State Capitol on Monday to advocate for free screenings for one of the most impacted communities: firefighters.

At 9:45 Friday morning just as crews were finishing fire prevention activities with the kindergarten class, Star Hose Company along with Port Area Ambulance Service was dispatched to a vehicle which had crashed into a house in the 800 block of North Main Street. Chief 310 and Rescue 3 responded. Patrol 46 of Roulette Chemical Engine #1, which had also been at the FPW activities, also added on to the call. Units arrived to find a pickup truck into a house with significant structural damage. All occupants were able to extricate themselves from the vehicle and fortunately there were no injuries to anyone in the house. In order to prevent further collapse of the structure when the truck was removed, Star Hose Company members placed Paratech pneumatic shoring and then constructed spot wood shores to stabilize the damaged structure.
