“This year, we are going to use the funds raised to help purchase a specialized washer extractor to clean our firefighting gear. I have a focus this year on cancer prevention. Structure fires expose firefighters to a deadly mix of carcinogens that has been found to significantly increase all firefighters’ chances of being diagnosed with cancer, the leading line-of-duty deaths cause for firefighters,” said Pima Volunteer Fire Department Chief Scott Howell.
