Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN)

Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN)

The mission of the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) is to assist firefighters and EMS providers and their immediate families diagnosed with cancer by providing badge-to-badge support, training, and guidance.

FCSN is all about doing it TOGETHER. They offer comfort, strength, and hope by sharing personal experiences with the devastating effects of cancer. FCSN also educates fire/EMS members about the importance of cancer screenings and early detection. Their goal is to ensure that no one faces cancer alone.

Since 2005, the nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization has provided one-on-one mentoring and assistance to over 11,000 firefighters and their families nationwide who have been diagnosed with cancer. They also provide free cancer awareness and prevention training to fire departments and agencies across the country. One of their core mottos is: "You fight fire, we fight cancer."
