By Brian Young, Lincoln Fire Chief

The Lincoln Fire Department is proud to share that we have purchased our first set of PFAS-free turnout gear. This initiative reflects the department’s ongoing commitment to reducing occupational health risks while maintaining the highest standards of fire protection.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) were commonly used in firefighting gear for waterproofing and durability. However, recent research has linked PFAS exposure to increased cancer risk and other long-term health concerns, prompting fire departments seek alternatives. The state has passed legislation to allow only PFAS-free gear sold after 2027.  Gear companies have been coming to market with new products in the past year, but want to make sure the gear holds up to the demands of the job.

Firefighter Kevin Gates, a newly hired member of the Lincoln Fire Department, will be the first to wear and evaluate the PFAS-free turnout gear during regular operations. This trial period will allow the department to assess the gear’s performance, durability, and comfort before moving forward with the potential purchase of PFAS-free turnout gear for the entire department.

This proactive approach ensures that Lincoln firefighters are protected not only from the immediate dangers of firefighting, but also from long-term health risks associated with their equipment.
