Can you respond after a major incident?

Yes. Rapid Response cleaning brings the MEU to your station after an exposure and can stay through a sustained incident. Call us and we will get a unit moving.

Why clean after one exposure if NFPA only requires two advanced cleanings a year?

Because the research says one exposure is enough. Smoke and other contaminants stay in gear after a single fire, and NFPA 1850 calls for cleaning after every exposure. The twice-a-year advanced cleaning is the minimum, not the goal.

Does gear leave the station for rapid response?

No. The MEU comes to your station and gear is decontaminated on site, so your crew isn't wearing yesterday's contaminants.

Can rapid response cleaning be covered by insurance?

Often, yes. Contact us and we'll walk you through getting post-incident cleaning covered.

We're firefighters. We've seen what dirty gear does. We built a truck so your crew isn't waiting on a plant and wearing contaminated PPE in the meantime.

Guidelines only require two advanced cleanings a year, but smoke and other contaminants stay in gear after a single exposure. Don't wait for the calendar if your crew just came out of a bad fire.

Mobile, on-site response

One exposure is one too many.

The MEU comes to your station after a major incident, so gear is cleaned where your crew is instead of shipped away. That kind of response was not possible before a mobile unit existed. We can stay deployed through a sustained incident so firefighters are not re-exposed by dirty gear.

Exposure reporting

After each Rapid Response cleaning we can run thorough exposure reporting and give your department in-depth wastewater data as an add-on service.

Insurance claim

The burden of paying to clean gear after a major incident shouldn't fall only on the firehouse budget. Contact us and we'll help you explore getting Rapid Response cleaning covered through insurance.
