Breathing Life Into Your PPE!

PPE Decontamination is necessary not just after structure fires, but any smoky fire like vehicle fires, dumpsters, or other fires that could also involve chemical exposure by man-made products.

Firefighters put their life on the line every time they fight a fire – and also put themselves at risk wearing contaminated gear or storing it improperly. Hydrocarbons produced by fires can accumulate in the fabric, lowering the level of thermal protection your gear provides. And, carcinogens can accumulate in the fabric and be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Worse yet, if gear is left laying around loose and exposed in a vehicle, locker or home, it exposes others to harmful toxins.
