Firefighter cancer is a global phenomenon.

Whilst safe systems of work, procedures and protocols are designed to keep firefighters as safe as possible in dynamic risk environments, a substantial amount of research studies have conclusively proven a link between firefighting and cancer.

Put simply, exposure to hazardous and toxic environments is resulting in alarming rates of cancer in firefighters around the globe.

Research has shown that a firefighter’s likelihood of developing cancer is significantly higher than the average person. This significantly higher rate of cancer development is likely contributed to by the dermal absorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organophosphate flame retardants (OPFR), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and some metals which include Lead and Cadmium, all of which are known carcinogens.
