firefighters filing workmans comp claims for carpal tunnel syndrome?
Are firefighters subject to getting carpal tunnel syndrome on the job?

Here's a reference to a court case involving firefighters with carpal
tunnel syndrome:

"At the Ohio Supreme Court we recently handled a case in which two
Columbus firefighters developed carpal tunnel syndrome in the course
of their duties. As a result, both men missed work to receive medical
treatment."

It depends on the specific actions they have do do with their hands.
The job name [fire fighter] isn't a specific enough job description. 
A WC claim will depend on whether their physician can tie the problem
they are having with a specific movement.
