ANNOUNCEMENT
Fire Ops 101 Announcement 2023.pdfPFAS is used in fire fighter turnout gear and poses an unnecessary occupational threat. As a result, in August 2022, the IAFF and the Metro Chiefs joined forces to alert members to the adverse health risks posed by PFAS in turnout gear, draw attention to the need for PFAS-free turnout gear, and recommend precautionary steps for members and departments until next-generation gear can be developed and put in use. Subsequently, the BCPFFA & FCABC also published a joint memo on this important issue. We will NOT being using Turnout Gear, rather we’ll be using cotton or nomex coveralls and modify the fire fighting scenarios.
