🚒 Happy International Firefighters Day and huge THANK YOU to all of the firefighters who serve us every day, often putting their own lives on the line. Here are a few of the ways we’re serving them: ✅ We’ve proposed a new rule to expand health and safety protections for firefighters and other emergency responders. ✅ We set up a special claims unit to process cancer claims — and do it faster. In the past two years, it’s helped more than 4,000 federal firefighters get the treatment and the benefits they’re entitled to. Today, more than 9 out of 10 claims are approved. ✅ We’re working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/NIOSH to get firefighters across the country enrolled in National Firefighter Registry for Cancer. It will help us better understand the connection between toxic exposure and firefighter illness. Read more in the blog: https://lnkd.in/gSTK-4UA 📷 U.S. Forest Service
