Liability Considerations in Pensacola
Naval Air Station Pensacola — the 'Cradle of Naval Aviation' — has operated aircraft fire training using AFFF for decades. Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, the Air Force's largest installation by land area, has also used AFFF extensively in aircraft and weapons test operations. Both installations have documented PFAS in groundwater monitoring wells above EPA advisory levels, with plumes potentially affecting municipal water systems and private wells in Escambia and Okaloosa counties. The City of Pensacola and Escambia County Utilities Authority have both filed water system claims in MDL 2873. Florida's 4-year product liability statute with the discovery rule provides a favorable limitations window for Pensacola-area claimants. Individuals diagnosed with kidney cancer, testicular cancer, or thyroid disease who lived near NAS Pensacola or Eglin AFB for sustained periods should evaluate their claims promptly.
