Who We Are

Bakersfield Citizens Against Hydrofluoric Acid is a group of Kern County-based organizations and individuals, including firefighters, concerned parents and local residents.  The group plans to run an aggressive public information campaign to educate the people of Bakersfield about the extreme dangers of hydrofluoric acid, and to do everything in its power to stop the use of this toxin at the Big West refinery in Kern County.
