Information on #firefighter #ReproductiveHealth - great resources to share-
Burns. Injuries. Cancer. The fire service tracks the risks it could see.
#ReproductiveHealth is less easy to see. Firefighters may face higher risks of fertility challenges, miscarriage, and preterm birth. Studies are also looking into male reproductive health.

You remember every sketchy basement fire. Every hoarder's house. Every "routine" call that was anything but routine. But do you have documentation? Because 20 years from now, your memory isn't evidence. But your documented exposure history is. Track today: i-psdi.org/exposure

🔥 ACTION ALERT: Support the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act 🔥
Congress is finalizing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and we need your help to ensure the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act is included. This legislation would expand the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) program to cover line-of-duty deaths and permanent disabilities caused by certain cancers — a critical step in supporting our nation’s firefighters and their families.
👉 Please contact your members of Congress today and urge them to support this lifesaving legislation.
Find your representatives here:

You can also take action through the IAFF’s VoterVoice campaign:
