The Fire Department invites all members, active and retired, to participate in a free Skin Cancer Screening, set up in an effort to prevent one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among firefighters.

The screenings will be held on Saturday, September 20, from 8:00am to 3:00pm, at the FDNY Fire Academy, Building 11 Room 260 (11 Reilly Boulevard, New York, NY 10035). Board-certified dermatologists will be on site to conduct the screenings.

We encourage all members to take advantage of this potentially life-saving screening. The process only takes about 10 minutes but could be vital in detecting your risk for skin cancer. None of your information will be shared with the Department.

Firefighters will be advised to follow up with their own dermatologist should anything of note be detected during their screening. Members can sign up in advance at https://bit.ly/FDNY920, or by scanning the QR code with their mobile device. Walk-ins also welcome.
