Perspectives on Environmental and Occupational Exposures and Cancer Risk From Florida's Wildland Firefighters: A Forestry and Wildland Risk Discussions (FORWRD) Qualitative Study

Findings highlight critical gaps in occupational health practices, resource allocation, and cultural attitudes within the wildland firefighting workforce. Integration of technical interventions, such as enhanced respiratory protection, realistic equipment training, and station-based laundering facilities with culturally informed strategies to shift perceptions of risk and of gear cleanliness should be validated in population-based studies.
