Rescue Intellitech, Inc. announced the launch of The Decon Exchange, a new weekly video podcast focused on one of the most pressing issues facing the fire service: firefighter cancer.
Hosted by Kristi Elrod, Marketing Director of Rescue Intellitech, Inc., The Deacon Exchange will feature firefighters, fire service leaders, researchers, safety professionals and others working to address firefighter cancer and occupational exposure.
Each episode will explore the real-world experiences of firefighters dealing with cancer and exposure to toxic contaminants, as well as the ongoing efforts to reduce those exposures and create safer environments for firefighters throughout their careers.
Topics will include the challenges firefighters face before, during and after emergency calls, the importance of effective decontamination, preventing cross-contamination and reducing exposure to carcinogens, as well as evolving the culture of cancer prevention within the fire service.
“Firefighters run toward danger when everyone else is running away,” said Kristi Elrod, Marketing Director of Rescue Intellitech. “The Deacon Exchange gives the fire service a platform to have honest conversations about cancer, exposure and the steps we can take to better protect firefighters throughout their careers.”
A new episode of The Deacon Exchange will be released monthly through Rescue Intellitech’s digital and social media channels.
