Our Inspiration: The Staggering FACTS...

The current health statistics for firefighters inspire Food on the Stove’s efforts to improve what’s on the stove at our local firehouses… Cardiac death was the leading cause of on-duty firefighter death in the United States. Stress and overexertion was the most impactful risk factor for cardiac arrest. It is the root cause for 98% of cardiac fatalities among firefighters.  Firefighters face a 9% increase in cancer diagnoses and a 14% increase in cancer-related deaths compared to the general population.
