April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that firefighters face a higher risk of developing testicular cancer compared to the general public? As we raise awareness this month, it’s important to emphasize the need for protective measures not just on scene, but also after fires and exposures, and in everyday life.

If you or any of your members are battling cancer, be sure to reach out to your #PFFAZ cancer coordinator, Orion Godfrey, for assistance.

**UPDATE**
HB 2689 was advanced by the Senate Finance Committee. This is a significant step toward continuing coverage for retired firefighters under the PSPRS Cancer Benefit Program—coverage they need and deserve after a career of protecting the public. Stay tuned for further updates as this bill progresses. #pffaz

Thank you to all the members, labor leaders, and department staff who attended the #PFFAZ workers' comp class last week. Attendees enjoyed two full days of education on how we can support our members who are injured, have contracted cancer, suffer from PTSD, and face other challenges while risking their lives for the communities they serve. Our job has inherent dangers, and keeping our members focused on protecting the public—rather than worrying about the steps of workers' compensation—makes our communities safer.

A special thank you to Brian Moore, Crystal McCracken, Paula Miller, and the PFFA board members for all their hard work in making this class so beneficial. Additionally, thank you to all the instructors, subject matter experts, and speakers for providing a wealth of knowledge to our members. The work doesn't stop now that the class is over; your PFFA will continue to help improve benefits for our members. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to Brian or any member of the PFFA staff.

The inception of the PFFA came about as a successor to the Arizona State Firemen’s Association, which was founded in 1924. During that time, Tucson Chief Joseph Roberts was the head of the Firemen’s Association. Interestingly enough, activists in that original organization were mostly chiefs and the organization was open to all firefighters, professional and volunteer. One key activist in the AFSA was Phoenix Deputy Chief, Jake Siken.
