New Hampshire Leads to Save Fire Fighter Lives

Concord, NH – Today, at the Manchester Central Fire Station, Governor Chris Sununu signed SB 352 into law, establishing an early detection cancer screening pilot program for active and retired fire fighters.

"The dangers of being a fire fighter go beyond running into a burning building, and today, New Hampshire is taking a leading role in having the backs of these heroes," said Governor Chris Sununu. "This cancer screening program will have a lifesaving impact. New Hampshire's fire fighters are the best of the best."

The bill signed by Governor Sununu makes New Hampshire the first New England state to establish an early detection cancer screening pilot program for fire fighters.
