FACTS
1. Firefighters are usually exposed to asbestos from burning buildings. However, they can also be exposed from their protective gear, in their fire stations, or if asbestos fibers linger in the air after a fire is put out. 2. Firefighters face the highest risk of exposure when trying to put out fires in older buildings made with asbestos-containing products. Modern-day firefighters may not know whether a building contains asbestos, so they must use respiratory protection to avoid exposure. 3. Building parts that contained asbestos include:- Boiler systems
- Electrical wiring
- Insulation
- Pipes
- Shingles
- Tiles
