On this page, we’ll discuss the military firefighter AFFF exposure lawsuits, the history of AFFF usage in the military, how military firefighters can file an AFFF fire foam lawsuit, and much more.
Military firefighters and other military personnel exposed to firefighting foam may be at a higher risk to develop cancer and other health effects.
Military bases, airports, and other military installations commonly used aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) or class B firefighting foam to extinguish highly flammable fires caused by gas, oil and jet fuel.
Firefighting foam lawsuits are being filed on behalf of those who have been exposed to firefighting foam and subsequently developed health problems.
AFFF Lawsuits are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) and several AFFF manufacturers have been named as defendants.
If you or a loved one have suffered from exposure to firefighting foam during military service, you may be eligible to file an AFFF Lawsuit and pursue financial compensation.

Class-B or aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) can be dangerous.
Certain AFFF products may contain PFAS chemicals that have been linked to a number of adverse health risks.
People who may have been regularly exposed to firefighting foam are typically people whose work duties include using or transporting firefighting foam products.
Individuals are also may suffer PFAS exposure through contaminated drinking water.
People who are most likely to suffer from occupational exposure to PFAS in firefighting foam include:
Our law firm operates on a contingency fee basis, which means that our Firefighting Foam Attorneys DO NOT charge for their legal representation unless your case wins.
If you are not awarded a settlement for your AFFF Lawsuit, you do not have to pay a cent in legal fees.
No, there is not an AFFF Class Action Lawsuit for cancer and other injuries related to AFFF exposure.
Rather, AFFF Lawsuits are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
MDL is a special federal legal procedure designed to speed the process of handling complex litigations by consolidating cases and addressing all pretrial procedures in one court.
When a large number of people who have all been affected by the same thing file individual lawsuits, the federal court system allows for the consolidation of these cases into an MDL to make them easier to manage.
MDL is different from class action lawsuits in that settlements are distributed on the basis of an individuals case and claims.
Class action lawsuits, on the other hand, distribute a settlement evenly among all plaintiffs regardless of their distinct and unique damages.
The AFFF Firefighting Foam MDL is centralized in the US District Court for the District of South Carolina.
If you were exposed to PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam and subsequently developed cancer or other health problems, you may be eligible to file an AFFF Lawsuit.

AFFF Lawsuit Update | Firefighting Foam Lawsuit
Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is a firefighting foam that military and civilian fire departments have used to combat flammable liquid fires, such as gasoline, oil, and jet fuel.
Firefighting foam was found to be highly effective in suppressing fires and preventing re-ignition.
AFFF was extensively used in industrial, military, and aviation settings due to its effectiveness in fighting fires involving hazardous materials incidents and basic military training exercises.
How Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) Works:
AFFF is often stored in large containers or firefighting equipment, such as fire trucks or fixed firefighting systems.
Military firefighters can be exposed to AFFF during their emergency response duties.
Military firefighters often perform the following responsibilities:
These fire protection operations placed them under exposure to firefighting foam regularly without any knowledge of the associated health risks.
AFFF exposure primarily occurs through inhalation, dermal contact, and ingesting AFFF-contaminated water sources.
Unfortunately, this exposure puts military firefighters at a heightened risk of developing severe health conditions.
The military’s use of AFFF products dates back several decades and its use was spread across different military branches, including the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.
AFFF firefighting foams have been a crucial tool on military bases and installations worldwide due to their ability to suppress fuel fires and prevent catastrophic incidents effectively.
The substance became integral to the military’s firefighting capabilities, especially with aircraft and other flammable liquid storage and transport operations.
Widespread use of the toxic firefighting foam has also resulted in widespread contamination of soil and water sources with PFAS chemicals (forever chemicals), leading to health and environmental consequences.
According to an investigation by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), the Department of Defense knew that firefighting foams contaminated with forever chemicals were dangerous but continued to enforce its usage.
The EWG published numerous documents between 1963 and 2021 that outlined internal acknowledgment of the dangers of firefighting foam.
We’ve detailed this timeline below:
One of the most recent AFFF accidents occurred on November 29, 2022, at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility and surrounding locations.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that approximately 1,300 gallons of AFFF were unintentionally released during routine maintenance.
The Navy and the EPA have been working to investigate and clean up the site, but it remains contaminated with PFAS chemicals.
Military firefighters may be eligible for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Only firefighters who served in the military would be potentially eligible for VA disability benefits due to AFFF exposure.
VA disability claims can be complicated, requiring extensive documentation related to health problems, military service, and exposure to firefighting foam.
Contact our law firm for more information on VA disability assistance for AFFF exposure.
Military firefighters also may be able to pursue compensation in AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuits.
The AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit claims that AFFF manufacturers did not adequately warn consumers, firefighters, military firefighters, and others about the dangerous effects of toxic chemicals in firefighting foam.
If you or a loved one were exposed to firefighting foam and subsequently developed cancer or other health issues, you may be eligible to file an AFFF Lawsuit.

AFFF foam lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
As of June 2023, over 3,300 AFFF plaintiffs are participating in the AFFF litigation.
This AFFF firefighting foam MDL seeks to establish a global AFFF lawsuit settlement.
Several AFFF manufacturers are defendants in the AFFF MDL, including:
Several serious health problems and cancers have been linked to AFFF exposure.
Below are the different types of cancer linked to AFFF exposure:
If you suspect that you have been exposed to AFFF during your military firefighting career, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your health and legal rights.
Here are the steps you should consider taking if you’ve been exposed to AFFF during your firefighting career:
First and foremost, seek a proper medical diagnosis from a healthcare professional that is experienced in occupational exposure cases.
They will evaluate your symptoms, conduct necessary tests, and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.
Cancer is the most common disease associated with AFFF firefighting foam exposure and is one of the most complicated to manage.
Without a proper diagnosis, you won’t get the treatment necessary to manage the condition and mitigate injuries.
As you receive a proper diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan, you should begin to gather evidence.
Document and preserve any proof of your exposure, including medical records, employment records, photographs, or any other documentation supporting your claim.
Consult with experienced AFFF lawyers who specialize in military firefighting foam lawsuits.
A firefighting foam lawyer can provide you with legal guidance, evaluate the strength of your case, and help you navigate the legal process.
The legal process can be daunting, and an experienced lawyer can help you navigate the steps of a lawsuit and protect your best interests.
If your lawyer determines that you have a valid claim, they will assist you in filing a lawsuit against the responsible parties, such as the firefighting foam manufacturers or other companies and organizations.
Damages are the total amount of losses incurred as a result of exposure to firefighting foam.
In AFFF lawsuits, the potential damages you may recover can vary based on several factors.
These damages may include economic and non-economic damages, such as the following:
