LA leaders make Jan. Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. Cancer caused by toxins from smoke and soot lead line-of-duty deaths according to the motion.

"Firefighters have a 9 percent greater chance of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14 percent greater chance of dying from cancer than the general population," the motion states.

"Ensuring the health and well-being of our county's firefighters is one of my top priorities so we can keep our communities safe," Supervisor Kathryn Barger said."The heart of this motion is about reducing cancer among firefighters by delivering targeted education and extending support to those navigating a cancer diagnosis. I'm hopeful the firefighting agencies in our county will join this month-long campaign to focus on prevention and mitigation.
