Ryan Zwick: A Firefighter’s Sacrifice

Cincinnati lost a hero this week: Ryan Zwick, a dedicated firefighter with 12 years on the job, died from occupational cancer at just 43. Serving his entire career with Truck 35 in Westwood, Ryan embodied courage and community service. His tragic loss highlights the silent but deadly toll of firefighting—exposure to hazardous materials on the job directly links to cancer, a leading cause of death among first responders. The union has officially called it a line-of-duty death, honoring his sacrifice and reminding us of the immense risks these brave men and women face daily. Our hearts go out to Ryan’s family, friends, and fellow firefighters as they grieve. His legacy of service will never be forgotten.
