Our hearts ache after the senseless tragedy in Tulsa, OK today where four people were killed and several injured after a gunman entered St. Francis Hospital and began shooting. Please keep those affected in your thoughts and prayers. Tulsa Fire Local 176 bit.ly/3M83Lyr
I sat down with Tom Costello today to share the urgent need to protect fire fighters from PFAS chemicals in our turnout gear. Tune in to Nightly News for our conversation.
Thank you Edward A. Kelly. Every chief in the US has an ethical obligation to execute plans aimed at reducing exposures tomorrow morning. And every firefighter has an obligation to themselves, their families, & each other to reduce their exposure starting tomorrow morning too.
EXCLUSIVE: Cancer deaths among firefighters are skyrocketing. The country’s biggest firefighters union and the city fire chiefs are warning that the gear that firefighters wear may be preloaded with cancer-causing chemicals, according to studies. Tom Costello reports.
Glad to have the Edward A. Kelly listening and looking out for us
Thank you Edward A. Kelly and International Association of Fire Fighters for leading the charge on this fight. The only way to take on and defeat big chemical companies is together.
Every FF, chief, union rep, health & safety member needs to watch this & share the message! Thank you Edward A. Kelly & the team at the IAFF for making this a priority. To all those PFAS Free PPE advocates and groups …Thank you! Keep pushing!
The International Association of Fire Fighters leading the way, looking out for the health of fire fighters.
Finally this crisis is getting the attention it deserves! Thanks Diane Cotter & Edward A. Kelly, you have shown the courage needed to take on the chemical giants. #PFAS is killing our nation’s heroes. We need gear that is not made with cancer causing agents.
