The 100 Club of Arizona is launching the 100 Club Firefighter Cancer Prevention Campaign, a statewide community fundraising effort to help protect firefighters from occupational cancer by raising funds to place a StormStick decontamination system on every firetruck in Arizona.
Cancer is the leading line-of-duty threat to firefighter health, accounting for 66% of career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from 2002 to 2019, according to the International Association of Fire Fighters, according to a press release.
In Arizona alone, the 100 Club provided direct support to more than 50 firefighters diagnosed with occupational cancer in 2025. Four Arizona firefighters lost their lives to occupational cancers last year, and one firefighter has already died in 2026.
