**11:00 am – 12:00 pm Eastern**
Please join us for our first ERP webinar of 2024. Presenters will focus on wildland firefighter safety and health in their unique and physically hazardous work environment. Kathleen DuBose from the Office of Wildland Fire, Department of Interior will cover common hazards in the wildland fire environment, previous research examining exposures and health effects, and current federal efforts to improve wildland firefighter health and wellbeing. Kenny Fent from NIOSH will provide a brief overview of the National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer, which is the largest effort in the United States to better understand and reduce cancer in firefighters. Jay Tarley from NIOSH will present projects from the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) to protect wildland fire fighters. Rick Swan, retired from the International Association of Fire Fighters, will emphasize the importance of the NFR for wildland and other types of firefighters.
A Q&A session will follow.

**Kathleen DuBose, PhD, MPH** is the Wildland Firefighter Health and Wellbeing Program Coordinator in the Department of the Interior, Office of Wildland Fire. She earned her PhD and MPH in Environmental Health Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. After graduate school, Dr. DuBose worked for the U.S. Forest Service and NIOSH conducting wildland firefighter health and smoke research. In addition, she spent the 2019 fire season as a crewmember on a Type 1 Interagency Hotshot Crew, an elite team of highly trained wildland firefighters. Her time as a researcher and wildland firefighter allowed her to obtain high-quality personal and area exposure data and understand risks in the complex fire work environment.
