O TYM ODCINKU
In this episode of Point of Origin, hosts Billy Hux and Bobby Drake speak with Steve Weissman, cancer survivor and Virginia state director of the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. They discuss occupational cancer risks for firefighters, with Weissman detailing how modern, synthetic materials create persistent carcinogens and volatile compounds that can linger for days after a fire, why investigators remain exposed even without turnout gear, and the importance of documentation for research and workers' compensation. They outline low-cost controls: a mandatory PPE program, on-scene documentation, swapping to clean gear, respiratory protection, and routine health screenings.
