East Providence leads US in adopting PFAS-free fire gear
The East Providence Fire Department has become the first in the US to fully adopt non-PFAS turnout gear, thanks to a $658,000 investment and collaboration with Fire-Dex and Milliken. The new gear, featuring Milliken's Assure barrier, is PFAS- and halogen-free across all layers. This move sets a national precedent for safer, more sustainable firefighter protection.
