FIRE Cancer Act of 2025
HR 1610, the FIRE Cancer Act of 2025, establishes cancer prevention programs for firefighters, directly affecting firefighting personnel. It authorizes $700 million in grants to fund multi-cancer early detection testing or other preventative tests, with a limit of $1,750 per test. The bill also creates a voluntary program allowing firefighters to share anonymized test results with the CDC and FEMA to identify cancer trends, while protecting their personal information. These provisions aim to proactively address cancer risks linked to firefighting exposure through testing access and research.
