Free for firefighters

Turn your years on the job into one page your doctor can use.

A few questions about the fires you've worked, what you were around, and how you've been feeling. You get back a plain, organized summary of your exposure history, the screenings worth discussing because of it, and the reason for each — tied to published guidance such as NFPA 1580, USPSTF and NIOSH.

It doesn't diagnose anything or score your risk. It gives your doctor the exposure history most appointments never get to, and the reasons a screening might be worth a conversation. What gets ordered is their call.

What you get

One page. Written for a physician, not for you to decode.

Most primary care visits run about fifteen minutes, and almost none of that goes to twenty years of fire behind you. Your doctor probably does not know what AFFF is, what an overhaul without SCBA costs you, or that NFPA 1580 exists. This hands them that context in the form they read fastest — the exposures on record, then the screenings worth considering because of them, each with the reason and the guideline it comes from so they can check it themselves.

Exposure history

Years of service — as you reported them
Incident environments — structural, wildland, vehicle, hazmat
Documented exposures — e.g. diesel exhaust, AFFF/PFAS, asbestos, PAHs
SCBA & PPE practice — including overhaul

Screenings worth considering, and why

PFAS blood test Years of AFFF foam and turnout gear exposure · NASEM 2022
Low-dose CT of the chest Depends on age and pack-years, never on exposure alone · USPSTF 2021
Urinalysis Firefighting is an established cause of bladder cancer · IARC 2022
Questions to ask about your own history Written for you, in plain language

Your actual summary is built from your answers.

How it works

Three steps, about five minutes

You can do the whole thing on your phone at the kitchen table.

Step 01

Tell us what you've worked

Role, years in, the kinds of calls you run, what you know you've been exposed to, how consistently you've been on air, and anything you've been feeling. Skip whatever you don't want to answer — the optional fields are marked.

Step 02

We organize it against the guidelines

Your answers are matched against a reviewed evidence base — NFPA 1580 (2025), USPSTF, NIOSH, IARC and NASEM — and written up as a structured history. Every screening on the list names the reason it applies to you and the source it came from.

Step 03

Take it to your appointment

You get a link to your summary right away, and a PDF you can download or print. Hand it over at check-in. What gets ordered, if anything, is your doctor's call — not ours.

Straight answers

The questions you're already asking

If we're asking you about your health, you deserve unhedged answers first.

Will my department or my chief see this?

If you fill this out on your own — the button on this page — it is not connected to any department, and no department administrator can see it or knows it exists. Your summary lives at a private link that only you have.

The one thing worth knowing: submissions are matched to department accounts by email address. So if you've previously joined a department here using your work email and then type that same email into the intake, it will show up in that department's account. Leave the email blank, or use a personal address, and it won't. Email is optional either way — it only exists so we can send you your own link.

If you do join with a department invite code, we spell out exactly what your department's administrator can see on the join page, before you enter anything.

Is this going to cost me anything?

No. It's free for firefighters and free for departments. There is no payment step anywhere in this tool, we don't ask for a card, and we don't bill your insurance — we have no way to, because we never ask who your insurer is.

We don't sell your data and we don't run ads against it.

Is this a real thing, or an AI gimmick?

Straight answer: software writes the summary, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What keeps it honest is that it isn't allowed to freelance. It works from your answers and from a reviewed evidence base, and every screening it puts on your list names the reason and the guideline behind it, so you or your doctor can look it up and check our work.

It can still get things wrong. Treat it as a well-organized starting point for a conversation with a clinician.

Can this affect my fitness for duty?

This is not a medical exam and not a fitness-for-duty evaluation. Nothing is reported to any employer, insurer, licensing body or pension board.

It's a document you own. You decide who ever reads it.

What happens to what I type in?

We ask for as little as we can. Your name isn't requested. Email is optional — it exists so we can send you your own link, and skipping it costs you nothing but that.

The sensitive fields — exposures, symptoms, high-risk incidents — are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and everything moves over TLS. Full detail is in the privacy policy, written to be read rather than to be survived.

Why does this exist at all?

Because exposure history is the single most useful thing a firefighter can bring to a doctor, and it's almost never written down anywhere. Departments track SCBA hours and turnout gear. Nobody hands you a record of what you breathed.

We're a small, for-profit company. We are not a nonprofit, not a union, not affiliated with the IAFF, NFPA or NIOSH — we reference their published guidance, that's the whole relationship.

Where this comes from

What the research says — and what it doesn't

You've heard the numbers on a bulletin board somewhere. Here's what they actually mean.

NIOSH followed a cohort of roughly 30,000 career firefighters from Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Compared with the U.S. population the researchers used as a reference, that group had about 9% more cancer diagnoses and about 14% more cancer deaths.

That is a finding about a large group of people over decades. It is not a number about you. No one — including us — can turn an exposure history into a personal risk figure.

What it does support is straightforward: occupational exposure is worth documenting, and worth your doctor knowing about. That's the entire job of this tool.

Source: Daniels et al., NIOSH Study of Cancer among U.S. Fire Fighters (cohort of career firefighters, Chicago / Philadelphia / San Francisco). Separately, IARC classifies occupational exposure as a firefighter in Group 1 — a statement about the strength of the hazard evidence, not about any individual's job.

Nobody's keeping this record but you.

Five minutes now means your next appointment starts with what you've actually been exposed to, instead of never getting there.
