While clearing a back up in the sewer lines, clean-up crews discovered asbestos in the city’s fire offices on October 12th. As a result, the fire offices have been closed. The city is accepting bids on asbestos removal.
Because asbestos causes serious diseases, including mesothlioma and lung cancer, it must be removed from the building so that the occupants will not be exposed to it. Even a small amount of asbestos is sufficient to cause mesothelioma, according to asbestos attorneys representing victims of mesothelioma. Asbestos removal crews must wear protective clothing and respirators while doing their work.
