Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is thanking the Industrial Commission of Arizona for responding to a letter he sent to them asking to provide more assistance to “Arizona’s heroes.”
At the end of August and in the midst of Fighting Fires and Cancer, an in-depth report KTAR News 92.3 FM told this summer, Brnovich’s letter asked the Industrial Commission of Arizona to look into “several troubling disputes at the municipal level involving healthcare benefits for firefighters who suffer from various condition, including certain forms of cancer.”
Now, the commission is responding.
During an Ad Hoc Committee meeting last week, Director of the Industrial Commission of Arizona James Ashley announced they had collected data and other statistics regarding first responders’ worker’s compensation claims filed.
They’ve since compiled it into an online portal on their website which they say will be updated monthly.
