A new law in Florida aims to phase out the use of a chemical known as PFAS in firefighting foam. This chemical has been linked to cancer and other diseases. Studies have shown that PFAS, also referred to as "forever chemicals", pose a health risk.
Fire stations have even been found to have traces of this chemical. Further information on this new law and its implications for firefighters can be found through CBS4 Miami, including comments from a Hialeah Fire Rescue trainer.
