The safety and decontamination of firefighters, their PPE, vehicles and equipment is a grave concern. New protocols at the fireground to remove contaminants are essential, but they don’t complete the job. To be most effective, a thorough decon process must continue back at the station when the responders and equipment return. Designing a proper decon laundry that is compliant with NFPA 1851 guidelines and builds on results from current research is crucial to the health and safety of returning firefighters and to everyone back at the station. Find out what you need in addition to your washer/extractor to have a proper decon laundry and a healthier station. Using 3D and walk-through models, attendees 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, as well as renovations where the process needs to be shoehorned into existing space.
