Scottsdale Fire Department joins state firefighter cancer study abc15
The Arizona Board of Regents recently awarded a $4 million grant to fund the study.
“Firefighters are far more susceptible to get cancer because of the things that we're exposed to,” said Scottsdale Fire Chief Tom Shannon. “[We] go to a car fire, go to a trash fire, go to a house fire, we know there's about a dozen carcinogens inside that building, so it's a hazmat call.
Occupational cancer is also a topic that weighs on Chief Shannon’s heart, like so many others in the profession.
