Bunker Gear Cleaning Process

Over the last ten or so years studies show that certain types of particles that often end up in a firefighters bunker suit can lead to certain types of cancer. These toxic particles can be absorbed through the pores of the body from protective gear. Because protective gear is not cleaned regularly the toxic contaminants are being carried back to the fire station as well as homes of firefighters.

911 Clean, the same company that cleans, inspects and repairs all protective gear for the city of Philadelphia, puts each garment through an intense wet-wash process using Check-6 Aerospace cleaner. According to NFPA standards, gear should be cleaned at least once every six months.

The industrial-size washers/extractors allow 911 Clean to wash your turnout gear in machines with electrically operated valves, fresh water flushing chemical manifold and six liquid chemical injection point to ensure clients that products receive the best wash quality in the industry. If you would like an estimate on cleaning your turnout gear please visit 911 Clean online or call them toll free at 866-370-7800.
