Which disease is the most likely cause of death for a retired firefighter?

Because of high concentrations of and constant exposure to toxic chemicals present in a fire or a hazardous materials cleanup and the residuals left behind on clothing that may then be touched with bare hands, cancers are the number one disease causing death among retired firefighters – a 9% higher risk than the general public.
