PFAS & Dust in the Firehouse

     The scourge of PFAS and other "forever chemicals" continues in the Fire Service.  Seemingly, the more we are learning about this danger, the more pervasive we find it to be. Our Brothers and Sisters in the IAFF took a strong stand at their recent convention. It is up to each and every one of us to play a role to have these carcinogenic chemicals removed from our bunker gear in order to allow us to help stop cancer from being the Number ONE killer of firefighters in this country.
     To see just how pervasive PFAS is, please read the following study where researchers have discovered PFAS in the basic dust in our firehouses!
     Stay Safe & Stay Well and Don't Be the First Domino!
