Firefighter48 Cancer Summit

The Firefighter48 Cancer Summit is a two-day event bringing together firefighters, union leaders, fire service leadership, medical experts, and industry partners from across the country to confront the growing challenge of firefighter cancer. Attendees will hear from medical and wellness professionals, fire chiefs, IAFF leaders, and vendors on cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment, explore the latest research and technology, and connect with industry partners offering tools and resources to protect firefighter health.

The summit will feature keynote presentations from leading medical professionals, along with panels of fire chiefs, union officers, and vendors sharing how their departments, organizations, and companies are working to fight cancer in the fire service. This unique format gives firefighters the opportunity to learn directly from leadership and engage with vendors from across the nation, all with the shared goal of reducing the impact of cancer in the fire service.

We are proud to partner with Crackyl Magazine as our official media partner in helping to amplify this important conversation.
