Bullsbrook community to get fresh water supply after toxic PFAS firefighting foam contamination

16 Dec 2022

A semi-rural suburb of Bullsbrook, about 40 minutes north of Perth, is home to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Pearce air base.

Decades of firefighting drills in the past by the Australian Defence Force have seen the chemical, called Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances or PFAS, leach into the soil around the base.
