“Our intent is to inform and assist Utah state firefighters, leaders, and personnel about firefighter cancer preventive resources and testing. We will support this effort with philanthropy, legislation, grant applications, and other funding efforts. Our hope is to give each Utah state firefighter the information and opportunity to get tested to preserve and/or improve their quality of life.”
A joint task group consisting of members from the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy, the Utah State Fire Chiefs Association, the Professional Firefighters of Utah, the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational & Environmental Health, and Utah fire service personnel
Our recommended early cancer detection protocols
Together, we will find financial support to provide screenings for our Utah firefighters
by working with state officials, federal grants, donations, and philanthropic opportunities.
Through education and research opportunities, we will cultivate a culture of preventative
action, gain knowledge and understanding of best practices, and implement improved
cancer prevention training.
We will stand with those affected by illness and provide a community of support. As
advocates for our fellow brothers and sisters within the fire service, we will look
for ways to make a positive difference as they navigate any diagnosis.
