RFK Jr. and firefighters PJ Norwood and Frank Ricci delve into critical issues that impact the American Fire Service, ranging from forever chemicals in our gear, dignitary protection for Presidential candidates, and RFK Jr.’s stance on mandates — affecting first responders from New York City to Seattle.The pandemic is over, but many careers are, too; the mandates have been lifted, but a significant number of firefighters have been forced to retire or outright fired. As of today they still have not been brought back to work.PFAS live in our homes, firehouses, and the protective clothing we wear. RFK Jr. has been fighting against PFAS issues in our communities for over forty years. We discuss the high cancer rates among firefighters and RFK Jr.’s fight to provide safer and healthier environments for firefighters.We also discuss RFK Jr.’s vision for his administration and pressing issues such as censorship, First Amendment rights, and the status of his ability to participate in the upcoming presidential debates.Frank Ricci and P.J. Norwood are grateful to Fire Engineering, Editor in Chief David Rhodes, Director of Video Mark Haugh, Online Content Manger Pete Prochilo, David Whiteside, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the opportunity to speak to a U.S. presidential candidate about issues that impact firefighters across the country.
