How to Choose a PPE Maintenance Provider

NFPA 1851 guidelines and standards dictate that only verified independent service providers are permitted to make key repairs to your firefighter turnout gear. These verified independent service providers should be qualified to clean, inspect, repair, and track all of your personal protective equipment.

It is becoming more and more important to keep a record or a log of advanced cleanings, advanced inspections, repairs, and other NFPA 1851 record keeping requirements. Therefore, this should be a primary question to ask potential PPE maintenance providers.

Occasionally, you or a fellow colleague will need to have major repairs on your turnout gear. You may also want to check in and see if the 3rd party verified independent service provider offers back-up, loaner, or rental gear during the cleaning, inspection, and repair process like 911 Clean.
