Firefighter Creates Exposure Tracker App to Track Risks

There are many dangers that go along with being a firefighter. The obvious ones include burns, smoke inhalation and building collapses. But there are also some less obvious long-term dangers that go along with fighting fires year after year.

Clive Savacool has dealt with those dangers firsthand. In March 2014, he collapsed after battling a grass fire in Pittsburg, California. He spent the next few days in a hospital, where doctors concluded that he had a career-ending lung disease that was the result of cumulative toxic exposures during his 18 years of service.
