On today’s show:

  • The Forest Service puts out an alert about wearing dirty Nomex due to soot dangers.

  • While commenting about cancer risks, they don’t mention the presence of PFAS chemicals on Benzine in NOMEX, which I reported on in June.

  • 72% of line-of-duty deaths in wildfires are said to be cancer-related.

  • KMAX Helicopters sold for $1.8B cash to a private equity firm.

  • This private company already owns other defense companies and companies that provide products for the wildfire world.

  • HEY CONGRESS, LEAVE OUR ZYN ALONE! A rant and an update on the proposed regulation.

  • “Our nation’s laborers run off of ZYN to stay alert.”

  • Plus more.
