It's urgent that we in the fire service get physicians like you to publish this information. Our fire service culture often relies heavily upon common sense at a fire scene as our primary preparedness <i>modus operandi</i>, yet we sometimes overlook professional advice and reminders. That you cared to post this study helps us reinforce the wide support and empowerment we get from the medical and academic communities. With medical voices like yours speaking to us firefighters, the future of our complete health (mental, physical, social) and of our communities is assured.

You can literally smell the smoke still coming out of the pores of their skin, days after the incident.<br/>I have a dear friend that went down and helped his fellow firefighters in NYC. He came back from that c/o upper respiratory difficulties. They continue to plague him 4 years later. People don’t realize this, but after a firefighter has been fighting a fire.
