A fire at the River Trails Condominium complex in Prospect Heights left 500 residents homeless and inflicted an estimated $10 million in damages, as well as minor injuries to a firefighter and two residents. What remains unknown is how many of the 200 firefighters at the scene strictly followed cancer prevention and safety protocols, which advise them to wear air masks, even after a fire is extinguished, and follow a decontamination regimen to rid their bodies and gear of harmful toxins.
