Division Chief of Training Dewan Laws Needs Our Help Fighting Cancer
Division Chief of Training Dewan Laws Needs Our Help Fighting Cancer.
Division Chief of Training Dewan Laws has proudly served the Jacksonville Fire Department in Arkansas since 1998.
Throughout his 26-year career, he has held various roles, including Firefighter, Lieutenant, Captain, Battalion Chief of Operations, and now, Division Chief of Training. Like so many firefighters, Dewan's years of exposure to PFAS chemicals and toxic environments have led to serious health risks.
Chief Laws is now in his second year fighting liver cancer, specifically Cholangiocarcinoma.
As anyone who has faced a cancer diagnosis knows, the challenges extend far beyond the physical battle. For Dewan and his family, the financial burden is overwhelming. While insurance helps, it does not cover all the medical bills or the out-of-state travel required for his treatments.
We are asking for your support.
Dewan has dedicated his life to protecting and serving others, and now he needs our help. Every donation will go directly toward his medical expenses and travel costs as he continues his fight.
Chief Laws has always been a pillar of strength for our department and community—let’s rally behind him and his family during this critical time.
