Local 2068 Health & Safety
Fire fighter occupational cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service.
At the 2023 IAFF Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial, 63% of the names added to the wall were members who had died from occupational cancer.
In partnership with the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN), the IAFF has designated January as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to support those with a cancer diagnosis within their departments.
The IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery is a one-of-a-kind addiction treatment facility specializing in PTSD for IAFF members – and IAFF members only – who are struggling with addiction, PTSD other related behavioral health challenges to receive the help they need in taking the first steps toward recovery. It is a safe haven for members to talk with other members who have faced or overcome similar challenges.

Why did they keep showing Fairoaks VOLUNTEER sign. They still don’t understand the fully staffed CAREER Fire Dept.time to cut the crap. Thanks for telling the budget story.
Maybe the border supervisor should have Elon Musk come through unexpectedly to see what he can do to eliminate cuts too balance the budget. I’m just sayin.🤔
$300 million dollar short fall? Whatever did the BOS spend that kind of money on without noticing?
