Terry, a career firefighter, lived with chronic heartburn for decades.

In May 2025, he attended a fire department–sponsored screening event, and a few weeks later received a positive EsoGuard test result.

That result prompted an endoscopy, where biopsies revealed early esophageal adenocarcinoma. Scans confirmed the cancer was confined to his esophagus.

Classified as T1b, his cancer was caught at an early, treatable stage.

Terry credits for changing his course — and giving his care team the confidence to move fast when it mattered most.

This , the Cimarron Hills Fire Department is taking action by hosting precancer screenings for at-risk firefighters.

For Chief Andrew York, it’s personal — he lost a close friend and fellow firefighter to cancer just a few years ago.

With occupational cancer now the leading cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service, early detection can save lives.

According to American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and the American College of Gastroenterology a few common traits raise the risk for esophageal precancer—age over 50, male s*x, chronic heartburn, and carrying extra weight. Sound familiar after a long night of cookies and milk?

Maybe add one more thing to the list this year: early detection.

Last week, we gathered fire service leaders, clinicians, survivors, and advocates in Huntington Beach for the Firefighter Esophageal Cancer Prevention Summit — all united by a shared commitment to preventing esophageal cancer through early detection.

Among the most powerful moments was hearing from Kristen Addicks, who spoke about losing her husband to esophageal cancer:
“His death. He would want it to be the catalyst for change. It’s why I’m here.”
Her words captured the heart of why this work matters—and why coming together as a community is so essential.

We’re grateful to every speaker, partner, and attendee who helped make this summit impactful. Your dedication is pushing this mission forward and helping protect those who protect us.

Together, we can turn awareness into action—and continue driving change.

Awareness is on the rise surrounding cancer as an occupational risk for firefighters.

“For us it’s a very important thing,” said Lt. Jeffrey Warmkessel, president of the IAFF Local 302 Allentown firefighters union. “So anything we do for early detection or prevention is just a natural progression of steps that we want to take.”
