Volunteers at the Nar Nar Goon fire brigade in Gippsland are seeking compensation following a significant rise in cancer diagnoses among their members. To date, 22 individuals associated with the brigade have been diagnosed with the disease.
The affected volunteers are currently working to secure work insurance coverage for their conditions. However, reports indicate that nearly half of the members are not currently covered by the state's presumptive legislation, which is designed to provide support for firefighters who develop specific cancers.
