justice.
About the Firefighter Health Coalition
At The Firefighter Health Coalition (FHC), we are dedicated to standing with the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day, and who now face an invisible enemy. Firefighters are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than the average American, and decades of exposure to PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam and turnout gear have left many battling life-threatening illnesses they were never warned about.
FHC, a 501(c)(4) non-profit, was created to ensure these heroes and their families are no longer left behind. While much of the national focus on PFAS compensation has centered on water contamination, firefighters, those most directly and heavily exposed, have not yet received justice. That must change.
By creating a Firefighter PFAS Injury Compensation Program and a dedicated PFAS Trust Fund, we aim to deliver expedited, fair compensation for firefighters who served our communities with courage and sacrifice.
We believe that firefighters should not have to fight alone for the care, recognition, and justice they deserve. Together, we can honor their service by securing the protections and support they need.
