Did Fire Room Work With Steam Lines Cause Asbestos Cancer? File a claim with our lawyers.

Our firm recently heard from a man with asbestos-related lung cancer who was exposed to asbestos while in the fire room on a naval ship in the early 1960s.

He said he worked in the fire room, where all the steam lines were wrapped in asbestos.

He and his coworkers were required to tear off the asbestos wrap to repair those items and then to re-wrap them.

Many firemen and boiler mechanics in the United States Navy worked extensively around steam lines, boilers and other equipment insulated with asbestos that were present in the fire room, including gasket and packing materials.

Many people who worked in fire rooms have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
