Utah Firewatch: Some firefighters may have been exposed to toxic minerals, chemicals

Firefighters working on the Iron Fire burning down near Eureka may have been exposed to toxic hazards while fighting the fire and cleaning up areas afterwards. In a new letter sent out to crews who were on the fire, state and federal fire officials say it's due to the Eureka Mills Superfund site and surrounding areas. Soil near the historic Eureka Mills/Tintic Mine is heavily polluted with lead and other metals like mercury, arsenic and thallium, so there's an increased risk that fire crews may have been exposed to these toxins. What kind of precautions and measures are in place now to try to protect fire crews? Incident Commander Cliff McClure explains.
