Your department’s commitment to protecting lives deserves national recognition. By enrolling your firefighters in the National Firefighter Registry (NFR), you can become a Gold Helmet Department — a symbol of leadership, safety, and dedication to firefighter health.
The NFR, led by the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), is the largest effort ever undertaken to understand and reduce cancer risk among U.S. firefighters. Participation is simple, impactful, and free.
Chief Jake Williams of Concord Fire Department shares, “Being recognized as a National Fire Registry Gold Helmet Department is more than an honor—it’s a reflection of the trust our community places in us and the relentless dedication of our firefighters to serve with courage, integrity, and pride.”
