Overview

Giving Firefighters and First Responders the medical surveillance they deserve! California is being hit by wildfires like never before and the forecast for the next years looks grim. Thousands of brave women and men are risking everything to protect residents’ lives and family homes. The health effects of repeated, intense wildfire exposure are largely unknown but evidence in the 9/11 aftermath, increasingly shows that the consequences of exposure to particulate matter are quite severe. We at FiGHT feel strongly that firefighters deserve state-of-the-art medical surveillance. Early detection is the key to better treatment outcomes and a sustained healthy life.
