Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month
Share

This Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month, follow in the footsteps of tens of thousands of U.S. firefighters who are making an impact on firefighter health and safety. Join the NIOSH National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer.

All U.S. firefighters can join the NFR for Cancer, whether you are paid or volunteer, active or retired, and even if you don’t have cancer. When you join, you will answer questions about your fire service history and help NIOSH fill an important gap in our knowledge about cancer in firefighters.

The more we know about cancer in the U.S. fire service, the more we can do to prevent it.

Take 5 minutes to start your registration at NFR.CDC.gov.
