## Resource

Twenty-five years after 9/11 claimed 343 firefighter lives, the job is deadlier than ever—Edmonton’s annual memorial honors 74 fallen heroes, 63 of them since 2002, including 6 in just the last year. Amid rain and wind, a crowd gathered to pay tribute, as Fire Chief David Lazenby and Mayor Andrew Knack underscored the growing risks: modern plastics fuel hotter, faster fires—and leave toxic residues that now make cancer the top cause of death. With evolving dangers and rising casualties, community support is more vital than ever to ensure firefighters retire healthy and remembered.
