The Risk: Carcinogenic Bio-Burden

Soiling reduces reflectivity and increases heat absorption. NFPA 1850 advanced cleaning is vital to removing toxins that compromise your health.

Advanced Cleaning

NFPA 1850 Advanced Cleaning

Expert Wash. Proven Standard
Proven Results.

“Cleaning is no longer about aesthetics; it is about cancer prevention and gear longevity.”

We utilize specialized extractors and NFPA-compliant detergents to remove heavy metals, VOCs, and hydrocarbons. Our process ensures that your gear is decontaminated without damaging the delicate moisture barriers or thermal fibers.

EXTRACTOR WASHING

Programmable extractors removes embedded particulates that standard washing misses.

CONTAMINANT SPECIFIC

Targeted treatment for products of combustion, biohazards, and hydrocarbon saturation.

INSPECTION READY

Every advanced cleaning includes a pre-soak and deep-clean. Your ensembles then moves to inspection

PH NEUTRAL CARE

We use specialized detergents (pH 6.0-10.5) to protect the tensile strength of Aramid fibers.

NFPA 1850 DATA

Full documentation of the cleaning cycle and chemistry for your department’s safety records.

Sanitized & Shielded

Utilizing Strike Bac disinfectant, our advanced cycles eliminate pathogens from critical PPE. This specialized process ensures fire turnout gear is thoroughly sanitized while ambient air drying preserves the integrity of liners, trim, and reflective shielding.

The Risk: Invisible Gear Failure

A moisture barrier can look perfect but fail a hydrostatic test. Don’t wait for a burn injury to find the weak spot in your PPE.

Advanced Inspection

PPE Inspection

Go Beyond the Surface. Ensure Total Safety.

“NFPA 1850 requires more than just a quick look; it requires a deep-dive into every layer.”

Advanced inspection is a mandatory annual requirement. Our certified technicians disassemble and examine every component of your turnout gear to identify degradation that is invisible during routine station checks.

MOISTURE BARRIER TEST

We perform hydrostatic pressure testing at six locations to ensure your moisture barrier is still liquid-tight and protecting you from steam and bloodborne pathogens.

THERMAL LINER EVALUATION

Checking for “thin spots,” thermal shrinkage, and delamination that reduces the TPP (Thermal Protective Performance) of your gear.

LumiPHI Hood Testing

Integrated LumiPHI testing validates particulate hood integrity post-cleaning, ensuring the particulate barrier remains 100% effective against carcinogens.

COMPLIANCE LOGGING

Detailed documentation of every inspection for your department’s records, satisfying NFPA and OSHA audit requirements.

HARDWARE & TRIM

Testing the securement of all closures and the retroreflectivity of your trim to ensure visibility on the fireground.

RETIREMENT GUIDANCE

We provide expert consultation on whether gear is safe for repair or if it has reached its 10-year retirement limit.

The Risk: Compromised Thermal Protection

Small tears and worn seams are the first points of failure in a flashover. Professional repair is the only way to maintain your gear’s integrity.

Repair & Alterations

PPE Repair

Factory-Quality Repairs. NFPA Compliant.

“A patch is only as good as the technician who sews it and the materials they use.”

We provide comprehensive repair services for structural turnout gear, ensuring every stitch meets NFPA 1850 standards. From minor patches to major component replacements, we restore gear to original performance levels.

CERTIFIED REPAIRS

We perform outer shell, thermal liner, and moisture barriers repairs, thermal liner patching, and moisture barrier sealing using factory-authorized and verified repair methods.

ALERATIONS & EXPANSIONS

Custom fit adjustments including sleeve shortening and leg tapering. We also perform specialized expansions by adding chest or hip panels to each independent layer of the ensemble to ensure maximum mobility and protection.

HARDWARE REPLACEMENT

Replacement of zippers, hooks, dees, and snaps utilizing factory recommended components.

HYDROSTATIC TESTING

Every moisture barrier repair is hydrostatically tested to ensure total waterproof and thermal integrity.

WARRANTY BACKED

All work is performed by trained technicians and backed by our commitment to firefighter safety.

RAPID TURNAROUND

We prioritize keeping your department in service with efficient workflow and detailed repair tracking.
