WORCESTER — The efforts of Diane Cotter — the former city resident who fought for years to expose the existence of harmful “forever” chemicals in firefighter turnout gear — are featured prominently in a forthcoming documentary produced by actor Mark Ruffalo.
“Burned: Protecting the Protectors,” a 30-minute film that aims to save the lives of firefighters by spotlighting concerns Cotter uncovered, will premiere this month at a Las Vegas summit of the nation’s largest fire union.
