Deadlier than Fire takes you inside the firehouse and through flame filled buildings for an in-depth look at the impact cancer has on North Carolina firefighters.
Recent surveys show cancer cases growing at an alarming rate, still North Carolina remains one of two without occupational cancer benefits for firefighters, facing a life-threatening disease for doing their job. Hear first-hand firefighter accounts, tag along to the doctor, and hear from researchers why there’s little doubt about the exposure risks. See the safety steps departments are taking but they can’t do it alone.
Deadlier than Fire holds lawmakers accountable, questioning why they’ve failed to protect those who protect our communities every day.
