A study was done over two year and the findings show that more than 95% of Michigan firefighters had PFAS in their blood.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has released findings from a project to determine concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in blood of Michigan firefighters. (link in comments)

A new bipartisan effort in Michigan is taking an important step toward supporting the mental health of our first responders. Recent legislation aims to make it easier for firefighters, EMS, and law enforcement to access benefits and care for PTSD, recognizing the real impact this job has on those who answer the call every day.

This legislation follows a model similar to existing cancer presumption laws, which recognize that certain job-related health conditions are directly tied to the work we do. Just as those protections have helped firefighters access care and benefits for occupational cancers, this effort acknowledges that repeated exposure to traumatic incidents can have lasting mental health effects and ensures those impacts are treated with the same level of seriousness and support.

We see firsthand how critical this support is. The calls don’t end when the shift does and neither should the care.

Thank you to State Representatives Mike McFall and Mike Mueller for leading the way on this bipartisan legislation and standing up for first responders across our state!

LANSING — A bipartisan proposal working its way through the state Legislature aims to help first responders who need treatment for psychological trauma. State representatives Mike McFall, D-Hazel Park, and Mike Mueller, R-Linden, recently introduced House Bills 5952 and 5953.

The Shelby Township Fire Department is advising all residents to stay off the Clinton River until further notice due to dangerous conditions.

Recent weather and water flow have created unstable banks, strong currents, and hazardous debris that make the river unsafe for recreational use. These conditions significantly increase the risk of injury or accidental drowning, even for experienced individuals.

For your safety and the safety of first responders:
• Do not attempt to walk, fish, or recreate near or on the river
• Keep children and pets away from the water’s edge
• Report any emergencies immediately by calling 911

We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community safe.

Thank you to one of our local State Representatives, Ron Robinson for introducing HB 5233 and sponsoring HB 5232. These bipartisan bills support firefighters and police officers who may be called to active military duty, ensuring they aren’t financially penalized for serving.
