Old firefighting uniform question.

Hey all,
So basically I accidentally washed old firefighting uniform pants in the washer at home with a few other articles of other clothing. (The navy blue dickies slacks, not bunker gear)
I found them at the thrift store and didn’t realize there were old firefighting pants until AFTER I washed them. (They had a name, station and firefighter written on the inside)

They weren’t noticeably soiled or smelled, but I understand that means they still could be contaminated with carcinogens and other nastiness.

How screwed am I?
How contaminated is my washer and my other clothes?

Thank you for the replies and thank you for your service!!!
