I am wondering if anyone is aware of research on links between ALS and fire fighters? Since my fathers(a retired fire fighters) diagnosis in June of bulbar onset ALS, I have heard of three former firefighters who have died from ALS in our city. In this mornings paper, I read an obituary of a man I knew years ago, who was a former fire fighter and while cause of death is not indicated, it did say he was very involved with the ALS society. In addition, when I spoke with the ALS clinic in Calgary Alberta, the coordinator mentioned she has known of five firefighters with ALS. If the research has not been done, does anyone know who to advocate with to look into this situation. Thanks
