There are two major classes of firefighting foam: Class A and Class B. Class B is also called Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and is usually created using PFAS. It is a highly effective foam used for fighting high-hazard flammable liquid fires, like gasoline, oil, and jet fuel.

In late 2024 and into early 2025, the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) conducted residential well sampling in the Cadillac area. Many residents outside the defined boundaries of investigation areas (Wexford Tech Center Area of Interest, Cadillac Industrial Park Area of Interest, and US 131 and Mackinac Trail Areas of Interest) have sampled their own drinking water wells. Results from residential well self-samples were shared with MPART and agency staff. While many of the self-samples were non-detect or had low level detections, numerous results were above Michigan’s drinking water criteria for PFAS.
Short & generic description about what users will find here.
MPART, EGLE, DHHS, and the local health department met in early spring 2025 to determine a sampling plan to ensure public health is protected. MPART is evaluating homes with exceedances that self-sampled, and will offer to sample homes immediately adjacent.
