In order to distinguish contaminated gear, equipment, and vehicles from what is clean, clear and simple flows and routines are required. Knowledge ➡️ Flows and Routines ➡️ Tools. This forms the basis of "Healthy Firefighters - the Skellefteå Model." #HealthyFirefighters

Clean is the new salty!

The latency period of firefighter occupational illnesses is one of the biggest reasons change has been slow to occur. However, there is a culture shift which is gaining momentum. And every little bit adds up! #HealthyFirefighters

Firefighters are often perceived as heroes. This perception can lead to feeling invulnerable and denying risk. However, no one is immune to serious illness. It's up to YOU to do what you can do to reduce the risks related to occupational illnesses. #HealthyFirefighters

When was the last time you cleaned your helmet, gloves, and boots? They can become contaminated to the same extent as turnout gear. #HealthyFirefighters



Great work by a number of really good people, including my friend Sara!

Excited this one is finally published! Go team! @CFFREHR sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



Great viewpoint from someone we all respect! Thanks Chief!

If @StPeteFL wants to wage war over the cancer benefits debate – I’m ready. They’re splitting hairs with a first responder’s life. We must not allow these heroes to slip into a bureaucratic hole. #FlaPol

Awesome to see departments looking to make changes like this!

One way @PFFG947 & @GSOFireDept are fighting cancer is by deconning on scene. Cancer committee designed a shower that attaches to 2.5" discharge making gross decon manageable for individuals #LessTalkMoreAction #TogetherWeRise @IAFFNewsDesk @PFFPNC

Today, FL tells every firefighter battling cancer, every firefighter afraid of getting cancer, and every child who dreams of being a firefighter that we are in their corner. Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for your support in signing this important legislation into law! #flapol

Proud to be a part of an idea and subsequent organization you formed and to see the change that has occurred since!

You have no idea how important this is, I remember sitting in a doctors office 16 years ago being told I have 1-3 years to survive. PLEASE share this, PLEASE help support the mission of @FCSNnational PLEASE help the Fire Service in being proactive regarding #CANCER

I can't even begin to express my disappointment, frustration, and ANGER! It's incomprehensible that 45 other states have this coverage but Florida doesn't! What's even more incomprehensible is that ONE PERSON is preventing it. 🤬🤬 wftv.com/news/local/9-i…
