WARREN COUNTY Ky. (WBKO) - With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Warren County Fire Department transitioned from their traditional blue shirt to a pink shirt that honors loved ones who are battling breast cancer.

It is a personal cause for many in the agency, as many have family members who are battling cancer.

That is why the agency implemented a hood replacement program.

Although a new program, Chief Bill Rector says that he hopes the program is successful in mitigating the risk of cancer for firefighters.
