1
00:00:00,291 --> 00:00:03,586
Firefighters should
join the National Firefighter Registry

2
00:00:03,878 --> 00:00:06,589
because there just isn't enough data
out there

3
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,635
to show the connection
between the cancers and firefighting.

4
00:00:10,969 --> 00:00:14,764
As we know, some cancers
are pretty specific to females.

5
00:00:15,306 --> 00:00:19,853
There are firefighters all over the nation
that are being diagnosed with cancer,

6
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:23,523
but they aren't getting any kind
of worker's compensation benefits,

7
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:27,068
which means they get no wage assistance,
they get no help

8
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:31,823
with their medical treatment if they die,
their family gets no death benefit.

9
00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:35,618
So we really need to have firefighters
start

10
00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:41,541
adding their names and their information
to this registry, so we can show leaders

11
00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:45,712
exactly the correlation between
firefighting and cancer.

12
00:00:46,087 --> 00:00:49,299
The only way to right
the wrong of these people

13
00:00:49,299 --> 00:00:51,968
that aren't getting the workers’
compensation and death benefits

14
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:54,637
is to provide the data
that people are looking for.
