In the world of firefighting, departments are never alone. When called to a large event that challenges their ranks, they call for mutual aid and neighboring fire departments will respond. The team approach of mutual aid keeps all parties safe and helps a fire department accomplish its goal of protecting citizens and property.
When it comes to cleaning PPE and keeping your firefighters safe, BDS brings the equipment, systems, training and a variety of other resources in answering your department’s call for mutual aid.
We’ll design a total solution to help your department meet NFPA 1851 standards for cleaning bunker gear and provide the required documentation of the actions.
Partnering with BDS to help develop a gear-cleaning solution brings a host of advantages to your department. It also delivers peace of mind that only a laundry expert can provide.
CLEANER GEAR. SPOTTLESS DATA. ZERO HASSLE.
Utilizing recognized processes to properly clean gear is just half of the NFPA 1851 equation. A true solution includes flawless record-keeping.
UniMac’s FireLinc™ system gives departments a high-power tool that makes record keeping as simple as a few button pushes and a scan of the PPE’s bar code. Best of all, data is safely stored in the cloud and easily accessible from the app, ensuring your department always has a record that verifies staff is washing gear in accordance with established procedures.
