It’s a New Day! On November 16, 2022, members of the 130th SFFD Recruit Class were issued turnouts with a PFAS-free Outer Shell. This marks a significant change in SFFD history in reducing the contamination of carcinogenic chemicals found in turnouts. SFFCPF has funded and collaborated on research regarding the toxicity of firefighter personal protective equipment for many years and has amplified the findings to the department. There is still teflon in between the moisture barrier and the thermal lining. #NFPA
Every set of turnouts ordered in the future will have PFAS-free outer shells. SFFCPF will not stop its efforts in education, research and advocacy until all carcinogenic chemicals are removed from turnouts. #sffdpio #sffdlocal798 #londonbreed Stay tuned, CBS National News will be featuring this groundbreaking development.

A tremendous success thanks to our donors and part

A tremendous success thanks to our donors and partner GRAIL! SFFCPF is proud to report we tested over 1,400 active and retired San Francisco firefighters during the December events with the Galleri multi-cancer screening, a new technology that can detect 50+ types of cancer through a single blood draw. We are hosting make up events in multiple locations on February 15, 16, & 22, 2023. Check our website for more information. 👉 link in bio. If you have already completed your blood draw for Galleri testing, Dr. Westgate will be in contact with your results in early January. Those who receive a negative result, meaning no cancer signal was detected, will receive an email from Dr. Westgate with their test result attached and a brief explanation. If your result is positive, meaning a cancer signal was detected, Dr. Westgate's office will call you to schedule a 30 min consultation to discuss next steps. Please consider a donation to SFFCPF in your end of year giving. We couldn’t have pulled this project off without your generosity. SFFCPF wishes you the happiest of holidays. Stay safe and healthy!
