With the increasing understanding of cancer risk to firefighters, the importance of designing decon laundry facilities that are compliant with NFPA 1851 guidelines as well as emerging ideas that have not yet become incorporated into industry standards becomes a critical part of the design discussion. There is hardly a new station that does not have a washer/extractor. This presentation is based on the idea that there is more to a proper decon/laundry than simply having a washer/extractor. Using 3-D and “walk-through” models, you will see a variety of facilities that treat decon as a flow-through process moving from dirty to clean. The models range in scale from large central stations to small substations to renovations where the process needs to be “shoehorned” in.
