Dr. Danny Whu, IAFF Chief Medical Officer, is on Capitol Hill today urging the Senate to pass the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act of 2022. Too often fire fighters are exposed to cancer causing asbestos. #IAFF #firefightersfirst

We are disappointed Representatives Buck and Boebert voted against Federal Firefighter cancer protections after very productive conversations with them both. We had hoped they would be part of this historic legislation. #firefightersfirst

The #USHouse just passed our legislation to provide automatic benefits for federal fire fighters battling cancer! Now we turn to the Senate to take up the bill and send it to @POTUS. Thanks @RepCarbajal and @RepDonBacon #FireFightersFirst iaff.org/news/cancer-protectâŚ

I sat down with IAFF and @NFFE_Union members in LA to share some good news:
@USDOL's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs launched a streamlined claims process for federal firefighters that will make it easier to file for the benefits they deserve: bit.ly/3xEVuOZ
