This week focuses on supporting fire fighters and those closest to them as they navigate the stages of a cancer diagnosis. Every experience is different, but access to the right information and resources can make a meaningful difference for members, families, and the broader fire service community.

These resources address the physical, emotional, and behavioral impacts of cancer and offer practical coping tools, communication strategies, and guidance on using available support effectively. The goal is to help create a more informed, connected framework of support throughout diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
