Laundry Equipment Solutions for Fire Departments
To protect firefighter health, it’s critical to clean dirty gear using laundry equipment designed and approved for fire departments. That’s why fire departments across North America rely on highly programmable Girbau Commercial Gear Washers and NFPA compliant Gear Dryers.Fire Department Laundry Equipment for Safe, NFPA-Compliant Turnout Gear Cleaning
We know that cancer is a leading cause of death among firefighters and dirty gear is a known contributor – exposing wearers to carcinogenic chemicals, particulates, toxins and biohazards (CDC). Additionally, as more and more particles and chemicals attach to protective gear, it puts firefighters and those they come in contact with, at risk. Without proper cleaning with laundry equipment for fire departments, protective gear becomes hazardous. It can cause cancer, reflect less radiant heat, conduct electricity and become flammable. By cleaning turnout gear according to NFPA guidelines – with laundry equipment designed for fire departments – you’re helping keep your firefighters safe.
