Strong work by all involved!
Attention Virginia Fire Departments: The grant application for firefighter cancer screening is open through the Virginia Department of Fire Programs!
The VPFF is proud that our legislative priority is now available to career departments. Cancer is the number one killer of firefighters. Utilizing screening examinations can help identify occupational cancer early when treatment is most effective. This is why the VPFF advocated for cancer screening funding for the last several General Assembly sessions. Please ensure your department is seeking this critical funding assistance and protecting your members.
