How to Properly Maintain Turnout Gear

These days firefighters face twice the average risk of dying from certain types of cancer. This has led to a big change in NFPA 1851 guidelines that regulate the regular maintenance and cleaning programs of such firefighter gear.

When it comes to the care of turnout gear, firefighters have two choices to choose from:

  1. *care for gear in-house
  2. *use an independent service provider

If you do not have anyone in your fire station that is knowledgeable in cleaning, inspecting, altering, and repairing firefighter turnout gear you can use 911 Clean, a 3rd party verified gear cleaning and repair facility.
