      Luckily not. I’ve injured my lower back, which took many years to fully recover from.

      The biggest health threat is actually cancer. Smoke is highly carcinogenic, especially smoke from buildings, cars, garbage etc… Fire services are getting better at protecting firefighters from this risk, but there’s still a long way to go.
