awareness to fire servicemembers and their families about 
the importance of cancer prevention and screening by co-
ordinating educational opportunities with various health 
programs; 
Whereas the unfortunate truth is that the rewards of career 
firefighting come with a greater risk of cancer, supported 
by studies that have shown firefighters are more likely to 
develop certain types of cancer compared with the general 
population, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, 
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and multiple myeloma; and 
Whereas the Firefighter Cancer Support Network encourages 
firefighters to take precautions when on duty, including 
avoiding or limiting exposure to carcinogens, removing 
protective equipment only in areas deemed safe, keeping 
safety equipment on the apparatus floor and not in living 
quarters, and taking a shower immediately after exposure 
to any fire or call that may include exposure to toxins: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) commends the Firefighter Cancer Support 
Network for the support its members provide to fire 
servicemembers and their families facing cancer; 
(2) commends the Firefighter Cancer Support
