Health & Safety

The CPF Health and Safety Department recognizes the need to take care of our fire service family and is a dedicated resource to its members. After all, a career in firefighting can be hazardous for a variety of reasons – exposure to chemical and biological dangers, preparation for changing regional elements, work-related stresses and remaining aware of some of the long-term effects are just some of the important reasons to stay conscious of the adverse health effects within our profession.
