Description
The decon laundry is a critical part of the fire station, but there is more to a proper decon/laundry than simply having a washer/extractor. Using 3-D interactive models, we will show a variety of facilities that treat decon as a flow-through process moving through the various steps from dirty to clean. Examples will range in scale from large central stations to small substations, and how to renovate stations that are short on space.
