MEET THE TEAM: Hello all! My name is Justin Beede

MEET THE TEAM: Hello all! My name is Justin Beede and I’m honored to be a new member on the board of the SFFCPF. The journey started back in 2010 when I met Tony Stefani at the gym in Tahoe. I was working for Cal Fire at the time and had a fire shirt on which sparked a conversation that likely changed my life. ⠀
⠀
I got in the department in 2014, likely due to Tony, working on the ambulance until I moved to suppression in 2017. As an avid surfer, I was naturally attracted to the Surf Rescue Program and have been a member of Engine 23 in Ocean Beach the last few years. To this day I get the chills every time I walk by the rig. Still can’t believe I work here! Thanks, Tony!⠀
⠀
That being said, it is unfortunate that the job comes with inherent risks. It’s funny that going into a burning building doesn’t scare me at all, but cancer does. It’s not funny that cancer is presumptive in the occupation. And I don’t just mean that the department will retire you medically if you get cancer. What I mean is that I presume I’ll get it at some point in my life. It shouldn’t be like that. Let's do something about it!⠀
⠀
As a new and young(ish) member with hopefully a long career ahead of me, what better time than now to get involved. I’m not sure what I can offer this diverse and talented board that it doesn’t already have, but I’m here to work. I look forward to years of service on the board, contributing in any way I can.

Bladder Cancer Screening for active and retired SF

Bladder Cancer Screening for active and retired SFFD Firefighters will take place on October 25, 26, and 27 from 8:30am - 12:00pm at the Division of Training. Active and Retired Firefighters are encouraged to test annually, and it has been more than a year since our last screening due to the pandemic. Don’t miss this opportunity and tell your colleagues!⠀
⠀
We will be conducting a bladder cancer screening. This particular test may also indicate cancer of the kidney or ureter. The tests detect blood and an elevated cell protein that may indicate the presence of cancer. It is noninvasive and free of charge. Those FF with positive results will be referred to SFFCPF’s Health Navigators for guidance in obtaining a further cancer workup.

The first study in the US in the last 15 years to analyze PFAS in breast milk collected from 50 women indicates that historically-used (legacy) PFAS and currently-used PFAS now contaminate breast, exposing nursing infants.
