The FDNY, in partnership with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, will host a free skin cancer check event on Saturday, June 1, at 10 a.m. at the FDNY Fire Academy on Randall's Island.
Data shows firefighters have a 21% greater risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, than the general public. Firefighters are exposed to cancer-causing substances in the line of duty, especially when fighting fires, which can be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.
The inaugural event kicks off the AAD's Firefighter Skin Cancer Checks Program, a nationwide effort designed to provide free skin cancer checks to 10,000 firefighters by 2026.
FDNY Firefighters and dermatologists will be available to discuss identifying skin cancer and the increased risk firefighters face.
WHO: FDNY Firefighters, dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology
WHERE: FDNY Fire Academy Randall's Island
WHEN: Saturday, June 1 10:00 a.m.
