Cancer remains the leading cause of job-related illness and death among active firefighters.
Now, a worldwide scientific panel -- the International Agency for Research on Cancer -- has said it more plainly than ever -- being a firefighter can cause cancer.
On this edition of CPF Fire Wire, CPF President Brian Rice discusses the IARC finding and what it means for firefighters who've been denied presumptive Workers' Comp support.
Guests:
Dr. Jeff Burgess, noted firefighter cancer researcher and invited contributor to the IARC working group.
Bryan Frieders, President, Firefighter Cancer Support Network
