Fire Cancer Awareness Month

Protecting Those Who Protect Us Every January, the fire service and the broader safety community observe Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month to bring attention to one of the greatest long-term risks firefighters face. Firefighters dedicate their lives to saving others, but repeated exposure to toxic smoke, particulate matter, and hazardous chemicals puts them at a significantly higher risk of cancer when compared to the general population. Raising awareness, promoting prevention, and supporting early detection can make a real difference in saving lives.

HOW EMERGENCY PERSONNEL STAY READY DURING HURRICANE SEASON

BEING PREPARED FOR THE STORM When a hurricane makes landfall, it leaves behind more than just wind and rain — it leaves chaos. Streets flood, power grids fail, fires ignite, and entire communities are displaced. While most people are urged to evacuate and seek shelter, first responders are moving toward the storm. Firefighters, EMS, and other emergency personnel are called upon to perform rescues, provide critical medical care, and protect lives in the face of extreme danger.

The Future of CBRN Protection

RETHINK LEVEL A For decades, traditional Level A suits have been considered the gold standard for maximum protection in hazardous environments. But that protection comes at a cost—encapsulation brings serious drawbacks like heat stress, restricted vision, limited dexterity, heavy load, and long don/doff times. The truth is, less than 5% of HazMat calls require fully encapsulated gear—and in FDNY’s experience, it’s even below 1%. That means responders are often wearing more than they need, sacrificing speed, mobility, and comfort without additional benefit. Therefore, we here at LION accessed the campaign ReThink Level A. to learn what was needed to ensure speed, mobility and comfort. Rethink Level A campaign was launched by the International Personal Protection (IPP), Inc. & Emergency Response TIPS, LLC to bring awareness to the emergency response community on PPE modernization and the utilization of gear designed specifically for the emergency response scenarios. After reviewing this campaign we asked—Is there a better way to deliver the same protection without the burden of full encapsulation? Meet LION's MT94™
