Thank you Diane Cotter. You are a champion for all of us!!! Thank you for doing the work that led to a documentary revealing the high level of PFAS in bunker gear and how that correlates to firefighter cancer.

BURNED is a documentary made for firefighters everywhere. This is special collaboration with the LAST CALL FOUNDATION to address occupational exposure of forever chemicals affecting the fire community...
Just after 3:00 AM this morning Local 1159 members from Estacada Fire District along with Clackamas County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a 30 year old patient who fell approximately 60 feet off a cliff near mile post 24 on Highway 224.
Due to the steep terrain, poor visibility and cold temperatures, this incident was upgraded, and Local 1159 members from Clackamas Fire technical rescue team were required to perform the rescue.
Resources, equipment and highly trained personnel from other jurisdictions were required due to the type of rescue. This incident utilized eight fire units and 20 personnel and took 3 ½ hours to execute the rescue.
Due to the severity of injuries, the patient was transported by Life Flight Network to a Portland trauma center.
