Hi,
This is interesting. One thing though, the map of Cook County is only a map of the Palos area basically. I’m wondering if that means that was the only location they burned or if they just accidentally didn’t include the entire Cook County area.

My error. Cook County is burning in other places too. You can go to the map and see where.
Bill,
Are you aware that fire-fighting foams contain PFAS? I wasn’t until a couple weeks ago.
Wondering if there are any non-toxic options that do more than just plain water.

LOVE this report, as always. So thankful, and hopefully we can borrow & steal the best ideas for the Indiana Rx Fire Council.
The PFAS topic was new to me too. I looked this up a few weeks back. Class A foam does not have PFAS.
