The recovery ended. The sacrifice did not.
For firefighters and first responders, exposure can remain long after an incident is over. The health consequences may emerge years later, affecting individuals, families, and entire fire service communities.

In 2022, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified occupational exposure as a firefighter as carcinogenic to humans, Group 1.
That classification recognizes a serious reality of the profession. Firefighter health guidance must reflect the exposures firefighters encounter throughout their careers.
