Firewatch Health — Protecting Those Who Protect Us

They run toward the fire. Their health deserves the same courage.

Firefighters face the highest occupational cancer rates in America. Firewatch Health gives every firefighter a complete, private health record — and the early warnings that save lives.

Firefighters have a 3× higher cancer risk than the general population. Most don't know until it's too late.

The Problem

The System Wasn't Built for You.

Firefighters carry every risk. The health system carries none of the accountability. Until now.

Records are scattered

A career spans multiple departments, states, and providers. There's no single place where your full exposure history lives — until you're sick and trying to prove it.

Risks go undetected

Carcinogen exposures, cardiac stress events, PTSD symptoms — they accumulate invisibly. Without pattern tracking, early warning is impossible.

You're left without a voice

Workers' comp fights. Insurance denials. Diagnoses that come too late for claims. The system demands documentation you were never given the tools to keep.

The Solution

Firewatch Health changes that.

One secure, private platform that follows you through your entire career — aggregating records, tracking exposures, flagging risks early, and giving you the documentation to fight back.

  • Your complete health record — from every department, every provider
  • Exposure log tied to incident reports and NFIRS data
  • Early detection alerts for cancer, cardiac, and mental health risks
  • Private — your department never sees your personal health data

By the Numbers

The risks are real. The silence is the problem.
