Advanced Turnout Gear Cleaning Technology That Saves Lives
Ten-8 Fire uses next-gen cleaning technology to keep firefighters safe. Liquid CO2+ deep cleans a firefighter’s turnout gear of dangerous carcinogens while significantly increasing the equipment’s lifespan.
Ten-8 Fire & Safety is the second location in the U.S. to offer this vital technology. As more become aware of the indisputable benefits of liquid CO2+ turnout cleaning solutions, we will be ready to provide our customers with this easy-to-use service. Pick-up and drop-off services will be available for local departments; shipping the gear to us will also be an option for those departments that are further away.
We are UL Certified as an Independent Service Provider (ISP) for cleaning, inspecting, and repairing firefighting garments under NFPA 1851 standards. This certification ensures our processes meet the highest industry benchmarks for contaminant removal, advanced gear inspection, and OEM-compliant structural repairs, preserving firefighter PPE’s integrity and protective performance.
How Toxic Removal Works
In traditional cleaning methods, water only cleans the surface of waterproof gear. Liquid CO2+ is combined with environmentally friendly additives that penetrate past the top layer of gear to remove carcinogens of all kinds, including dangerous NFPA-specified substances.
Liquid CO2+ captures toxins at the molecular level, resulting in more effective cleaning.
A technical study was conducted to evaluate two different cleaning systems and their efficiency in removing hazardous compounds from firefighter turnout gear. The report below compares traditional water washing of firefighter PPE to CO2+ cleaning by following the procedures listed in the NFPA 1851-2020 standard. The results of this study can be used by those responsible for firefighter safety to determine the best cleaning options available for firefighter turnout gear.
Worried about CO2+ ruining your gear?
CO2+ cleaning does NOT adversely impact turnout gear in any meaningful way. The reports below summarize results that show no significant effects on the outer shell, moisture barrier, and thermal liner material after multiple cleanings in the CO2+ cleaning systems according to NFPA 1971 UL testing.
