Bellevue’s Leading PFAS Replacement Services – Cleaner, Safer Firefighting

In Bellevue, fire protection is evolving, and so are we at Compass Fire Protection. The time has come to say goodbye to PFAS-based firefighting foams—those "forever chemicals" that have been effective but carry major environmental and health risks. With Washington State phasing out PFAS by 2024, many industries, including firefighting, are rapidly adopting safer, more sustainable alternatives​(Coffman Engineers)​(TÜV SÜD).

What’s the Issue with PFAS?

For years, PFAS-based foams (like AFFF) have been used extensively due to their ability to quickly suppress liquid-based fires. But here’s the kicker: PFAS chemicals don’t break down easily and have been linked to contamination of water supplies and increased cancer risks for firefighters and others​(GreenFire Firefighting Foams)​(Clean Production Action). These chemicals linger in soil, water, and even our bodies, earning the nickname “forever chemicals.”

Transitioning to Safer Solutions

Now, businesses and firefighting departments in Bellevue and across Washington are transitioning to PFAS-free firefighting foams. These new foams meet rigorous safety standards while eliminating the environmental harm caused by PFAS. Replacing these foams isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it’s a crucial step toward ensuring cleaner, safer firefighting practices​.
