Prompted by research that shows increased cancer risks, the proposal would partially reverse a 2011 proposition
City voters in November will determine whether San Francisco Fire Department firefighters will be able to retire with full pensions three years earlier than most can now.
“They face a real risk of cancer,” he said. “The cancer increases the more years that they’re on duty.” The study, which looked at firefighters in San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia and followed up on an earlier report, also found increased deaths from lung cancer and leukemia in older firefighters that was correlated with prolonged exposure.
Closer to home, data analyzed by the Firefighters Cancer Prevention Foundation found that 207 active and retired city firefighters have been diagnosed with cancer in the last six years, Wood said. And since 2006, 300 active and retired San Francisco firefighters have died from cancer, Rollins said. As with other city employees, firefighters’ pensions are determined by a formula that takes several factors into account — age at retirement, years of service and past earnings. The older they are at retirement, the higher the multiple The City uses to calculate their pension benefit.
X's reported closure of SF HQ another blow to reeling Mid-Market The company, which had already announced it was moving its headquarters from San Francisco to Texas, will reportedly leave The City entirely soon And that likely understates the total expense, the controller’s office said. If the measure does encourage more firefighters to retire early, San Francisco will have to more frequently train and equip new ones to replace them. That costs about $115,000 per firefighter, according to the controller’s office.
The initial version also would have calculated their pensions based on the year they had their highest “earnable” income. That was a poorly defined term that also could have rewarded employees who were out on sick or other leave and not actually working, critics said.
