Firefighters risk their lives every day—but what happens when some dangers aren’t in the flames, but in the long-term health risks they face on the job?
In this episode, we take a closer look at cancer in the fire service, especially the increased risk of blood cancer. Joining us are Dr. Sara Jahnke, Director and Senior Scientist at the Center for Fire, Rescue & EMS Health Research; Steve Fisher, a retired firefighter and cancer survivor; and Tommy Schroeder, a Portland Fire & Rescue Lieutenant and dedicated LLS volunteer. From occupational exposures to systemic change, this conversation dives deep into the science, personal experiences, and grassroots efforts to protect those who protect us. Whether you’re in the firehouse or supporting from the outside, this is a must-listen for anyone who advocates for firefighter health and safety.
