Activities and charitable focus
On-site activities listed include fire apparatus on display, fire-related activities for children, a Kid's Fun Zone, appearances by Super Heroes, a live DJ, and a free hotdog lunch. The event promotes a mission focused on firefighter cancer support: providing financial help to firefighting families facing cancer, offering no-cost preemptive screenings that meet NFPA and IAFC recommendations, and connecting firefighters with resources to prevent and reduce cancer risk. The organizer cites firefighter cancer data: between 2002 and 2017, 61% of firefighter deaths were attributed to occupational cancer; firefighters have a 9% greater chance of getting cancer and a 14% increased risk of dying from that cancer.
