FIRE Cancer Act of 2024
S 5025, the FIRE Cancer Act of 2024, establishes cancer prevention programs for firefighters by requiring federal grant funding for multi-cancer early detection screening tests. It authorizes $700 million in grants to cover up to $1,750 per screening test for eligible firefighters. The bill also creates a voluntary program allowing firefighters to share anonymized test results with FEMA and CDC to identify cancer trends, while protecting personal information through de-identified data sharing. This legislation directly affects active and retired firefighters by expanding access to preventative cancer screenings and enabling research into cancer causes in the firefighting profession.
