This January, the New Orleans Fire Department stands with firefighters and their families to raise awareness about occupational cancer risks. We recognize the important work of the IAFF and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network in prevention, education, and support, according to the New Orleans Fire Department's Facebook post.

Firefighters face risks every day, from routine calls to life-saving rescues. They put their health on the line to protect our community, as per the New Orleans Police Department.

This month and every month, we honor their courage and dedication. Protecting those who protect us is a responsibility we all share.
