Listen "CPF Fire Wire - Federal Firefighters Cancer Presumption"
Episode Synopsis
Civilian federal firefighters have finally won a protection that state and local firefighters in California have had for 40 years -- a workers' compensation presumption for firefighter cancer.
The victory, part of the federal defense authorization passed last year, caps a decades-long fight that was led by California's federal firefighters.
On this CPF Fire Wire, CPF President Brian Rice discusses this important victory, and the work done by CPF and IAFF to help federal firefighters, with Charlie Martinez, CPF's 5th District Vice President and a 31-year federal firefighter.
