now, most firefighters are quite aware of the cancer risk that
firefighting poses, and many
departments have made great strides in requiring full PPE and SCBA
during overhaul and other operations that expose firefighters to
carcinogens. But cancer risk goes much further than the fireground.
Firefighters and officers must be aware of the “hidden” threats that
pose great risk,
such as diesel smoke and lingering carcinogens on dirty PPE. In this
webcast, FireRescue Editor-in-Chief Tim Sendelbach and Houston Fire
Department Captain Joel Calfee will identify some of these risks and
discuss practical ways leaders and individual firefighters can improve
their chances of a
long, healthy career.

- Tips for proper storage of gear and the importance of doing so
- Why proper and immediate decon/cleaning
of gear is essential and easy-to-use tips for PPE cleaning
