Union urges further cleaning of fire trucks " ASSOCIATED PRESS w . Fire union officials are urging ■ the city to have all of the emer­ gency vehicles that responded to the World Trade Center profes­ sionally decontaminated. The fire department has exam­ ined the 200 rigs that survived the terrorist attacks; several tested positive for asbestos and were de­ contaminated, officials said. But the majority were cleaned and returned to service, and union leaders charge that they still pose a health risk to firefighters. Fire Department officials said an independent consultant tested .the trucks and found no health ' risk, and that full-scale decontam- , ination is not necessary. . But Uniformed Firefighters As- i' sociation officials said they were concerned that the Environmental Protection Agency had decided to destroy hundreds of private vehi­ cles recovered at the site that had tested positive for asbestos. “We have a lot of guys with res­ piratory problems and they are riding around with all kinds of dust in the rigs,” Thomas Manley, ;a union health officer, told The - New York Times, “There is no doubt that some of it’s asbestos.”
