January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month.

Firefighters face a significantly higher risk of developing cancer than the general public—often at younger ages and with later diagnoses. Awareness, prevention, and early detection save lives.

In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy and Department of Fire Services offer important programs focused on cancer awareness, prevention, and early detection for the fire service.

Please take a moment to learn more, share this message, and support the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our communities.

Just a reminder that the American Legion remains closed and is reopening on Friday, January 9th at 5PM.
