In the month of May, Irving firefighters wore grey t-shirts to help raise awareness of, and financial funds for, the fight against Brain Cancer. Research shows that firefighters are 32% more likely to being diagnosed with brain cancer than the general population.
In addition to wearing grey t-shirts, Irving Fire Department volunteers collaborated with the Nick Gonzales Foundation for Brain Tumor Research, to host the first annual Firefighter Competition for a Cure on Saturday, May 19 at the Irving/Grand Prairie Joint Fire Training Facility.
