$4 million grant going into research to reduce the risk of cancer in Arizona firefighters

Arizona State University, University of Arizona, and firefighters across the state are joining forces on a new $4 million grant. The goal is for university researchers to work with firefighters to reduce occupational-related cancer in firemen and women across Arizona.

Studies find firefighters have a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer than the general population. This alarming number is prompting doctors and researchers to study ways to reduce that number.
