🔥 BREAKING: Science to the Station just launched something BIG.
Introducing "Breaking Science": research that actually makes it OUT of the academic paywall and INTO your station. Fast. Clear. Actionable!

First up? A Game-Changing Study from Fire Firefighter Cancer Study (FFCCS) Researchers Who Tested 2,056 Firefighters to Determine What Raises and Lowers Exposure:

📊 THE FINDINGS:
-100% had PFAS in their blood
-Both personal choices AND department policies affect your levels
-Specific actions you can take RIGHT NOW to lower exposure

💡 THE MISSION OF "BREAKING SCIENCE": Stop waiting years for critical research to trickle down through conference slides. When important science drops, you should know about it NOW - not three years later in a hallway conversation.

🎯 THREE LEVELS OF ACCESS:
Quick one-page brief
Deeper-dive summary
Full academic paper (for the nerds)

Because science that sits on a shelf helps absolutely no one.

Throughout the month, we’ll share weekly themes and evidence-based content designed to reduce exposures, strengthen best practices, and promote early detection.

We’ll also highlight our Behind the Badge – Survivor Stories, giving a voice to firefighters and families impacted by cancer.

Together, we can reduce the possibility of a cancer diagnosis and protect those who protect our communities.

Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month begins January 1, and we’re proud to stand together in partnership with the International Association of Fire Fighters. 🎗️🚒

Throughout January, we’re focused on education, prevention, and survivorship—providing firefighters and their families with the tools, resources, and support needed to reduce risk, promote early detection, and ensure no one faces cancer alone. Be sure to check our webpages frequently for updated resources, best practices, and shareable content, and plan a department safety stand-down to reinforce life-saving cancer prevention measures.

You fight fire. We fight cancer.

This app was shared by our friends at Science to the Station. It is a very simple tracker but a great way to keep record of all your exposures to cancer causing products.

As State Director I had the privilege to run this township’s flashover simulator training today. With every class I always push about the importance of clean up. Well when you see a post like this after a training, it makes me feel great that the message was heard. Great Job West Windsor Professional Firefighters for putting this out there. Thank you.
