The Danger of Asbestos
to Today's Firefighters

Although many people believe that asbestos has been banned in the United States and is no longer
a concern, this toxic chemical remains in existing structures and poses a danger to anyone who works near damaged or destroyed buildings.

For this reason, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics who respond to a fire or other incident that causes structural damage need to be aware of the risks of developing asbestos cancer and the steps they can take to avoid it.
