Cancer Awareness

for Firefighter's

Here are a few new web sites to help you better understand Mesothelioma.

Firefighters are at risk of asbestos exposure because of its frequent use in older structures and its ability to linger in the air even after a fire has been extinguished.

As Firefighters, we could at any time be exposed to airborne particles in the air that could someday cause you cancer. Please visit the links below to learn more.
