Scottsdale firefighters face many risks just doing their job. Burning buildings. Car accidents. Heart attacks. Wildfires. Mountain rescues in the Preserve. But that risk also includes cancer-causing materials such as plastics, treated fabrics, and synthetic building materials, all of which are among a host of toxins our members are exposed to daily.

Chronic pain is not just about what hurts in your body – it lingers in your thoughts, shapes your moods, and touches every part of your daily life.
