The AFFI proudly celebrates the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, his advocacy in Civil Rights and Labor:
"The labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation, but enlarged it. Those who today attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them."

Firefighters face unique health risks due to exposure to hazardous materials while on duty. One of the most serious risks is the increased incidence of certain types of cancer. Research has shown that firefighters are at a higher risk for cancers such as:
- Lung Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Mesothelioma
- Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
- Brain Cancer
These risks are attributed to prolonged exposure to smoke, toxic chemicals, and carcinogens found in burning materials. Understanding these risks and taking proactive steps towards prevention and early detection is crucial for the health and safety of our firefighters. #affisupports
