Long-Term Health Issues in Firefighters

Firefighters face dangers beyond the immediate threat of fire. Long-term exposure to carcinogenic particulates from fires puts firefighters at risk of various cancers. Fire engine cabs are hotspots for these contaminants – which are brought in through equipment, clothing and smoke.

Safely back at the station when PPE is removed, the danger still lingers unseen on surfaces throughout the vehicle. It is difficult to clean something you can’t see, firefigher’s can never be sure a surface is safe to touch.

CAB-VAC

This is where CAB-VAC can help. As a vacuum cleaner designed specifically for the fire service, it detects, cleans and safely contains particulates.
