November brings Movember—an opportunity for our firefighters to grow sweet mustaches! It's also an opportunity for us to bring awareness to some important areas in men's health: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

These six brave souls are starting November clean-shaven to try and grow the most luscious 'stache by the end of the month.
