Arizona Supreme Court to make ruling on firefighter cancer coverage
The Arizona Supreme Court is expected on Wednesday to rule whether an East Valley firefighter’s brain cancer treatments should be covered by insurance. Robert Vande Krol says he can’t work because of the chance he contracted on the job. A new state law went into effect a few months ago that covers occupational cancers for first responders but it wasn’t written to be retroactive. Casey Torres reports.
