Body Scans Offered to Texas Firefighters

Metro Fire set up a $100,000 endowment to provide 250 firefighters in Texas with an opportunity to get a body scan at ViaScan, reports WFAA 8.

The firefighter will have to pay a $25 registration fee, but that money is given back to provide more firefighter scans. The hope is to keep the momentum going and continue helping more than 250 firefighters.
