power<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0.5em\">In eras past, it was considered a badge of honor to wear \u201cseasoned\u201d equipment. Today, however, we understand the risks firefighters face due to harmful carcinogens.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ali\">\n<li>Plastics and synthetics are more common in today\u2019s households, making residential fires more dangerous due to an increase in toxic and carcinogenic combustion products.<\/li>\n<li>Unsafe contaminants and dangerous smoke particulates easily penetrate turnout gear and are promptly absorbed within the fabrics of PPE<\/li>\n<li>We now know that for every five-degree increase in skin-temperature, absorption increases 400%.<\/li>\n<li>With all this in mind, it\u2019s no surprise that in 2016 cancer was responsible for 70% of all line-of-duty deaths among career firefighters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>UniMac is always up to date\u2014so you are too<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0.5em\">Smart safety officers already know that a UniMac industrial washer is as tough as a fire truck\u2014and built to last even longer. But these days, the job is as much about brains as it is brawn. That\u2019s why, when you invest in UniMac, we offer more than just a \u201cmachine\u201d; we offer an entire system\u2014including programmable controls and FireLinc reporting technology\u2014that will be prepared to answer the bell for decades. So, you can rest assured that you\u2019re following today\u2019s regulations\u2014but more important, that you\u2019ll be ready for future standards and best practices, no matter how they evolve.<\/p>\n<h4>Important best practices<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0.5em\">The basics*:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ali\">\n<li>PPE requires customized wash programs, with different cycles used for outer shells and inner liners. These items each have unique qualities and specialized care requirements, and should not be washed together.<\/li>\n<li>Begin the exposure-reduction and cleaning processes at the fire scene. For example, if possible, bag contaminated gear at the fire scene and isolate it from the passenger area of vehicles.<\/li>\n<li>Advanced cleaning is best accomplished with a minimum 30-lb-capacity washer extractor with fully programmable controls\u2014including water-temperature control and a 100 g-force extraction setting. This meets today\u2019s requirements while allowing the flexibility to ensure adherence to future requirements.<\/li>\n<li>All closures (snaps, Velcro, zippers, etc.) should be closed prior to washing.<\/li>\n<li>Inner liners should be washed with the moisture barrier on the inside. In most cases, this means turning the garment inside-out.<\/li>\n<li>There are special cycles and\/or processes for specific contaminants (e.g., body fluids), and they must be followed.<\/li>\n<li>Always ensure the drying process is complete before PPE is put back in service. If done properly, machine drying is an option for speeding the drying process.<\/li>\n<li>Assure best practices are followed and recorded with each cleaning. Meticulous record-keeping paired with best-in-class cleaning protects everyone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>*Please note: The points above should serve only as a quick-reference guide. Departments should receive training on the PPE-cleaning process directly from verified ISPs and\/or element manufacturers. Additionally, in line with the increased understanding of the dangers firefighters face, the forthcoming iteration of NFPA regulations will become exponentially more stringent\u2014and will recommend washing PPE after every fire.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-8c795c2e9e869e1d5b7\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-firelinc\u2122-ppe-technology\" href=\"#tab-8c795c2e9e869e1d5b7\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">firelinc\u2122-ppe-technology<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-firelinc\u2122-ppe-technology\" id=\"tab-8c795c2e9e869e1d5b7\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-2759 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/unimac.com\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/firelinc.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/unimac.com\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/firelinc.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27480%27%20height%3D%27815%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20480%20815%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27480%27%20height%3D%27815%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unimac.com\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/firelinc-177x300.png 177w, https:\/\/unimac.com\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/firelinc-200x340.png 200w, https:\/\/unimac.com\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/firelinc-400x679.png 400w, https:\/\/unimac.com\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/firelinc.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>FireLinc\u2122<\/h4>\n<h4>You have bigger fires to put out than maintaining wash records<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0.5em\">Dangerous hydrocarbons left on gear pose a number of problems\u2014including a doubled risk of many cancers.

While this should never go unnoticed, it\u2019s important to remember that in 2016 cancer was responsible for 70% of all line-of-duty deaths among career firefighters. With this in mind, there are thoughtful ways firefighters can protect themselves while maintaining the safety of their surroundings.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"hamza\">\n<li>Always wear SCBA in active and post-fire environments.<\/li>\n<li>After an active scene has been cleared, execute a gross field decon and use wet towels to remove as much soot as possible. Afterwards, isolate and contain your equipment.<\/li>\n<li>Once back at the station, change clothes and wash them immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Always shower after a fire.<\/li>\n<li>Attend annual medical physical exams and encourage your brothers to do the same.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid storing PPE equipment in your home, your vehicle or in the fire station living quarters.<\/li>\n<li>In accordance with forthcoming NFPA standards, PPE should be washed after every fire.<\/li>\n<li>In addition to observing proper wash frequency, PPE should be washed in NFPA 1851-compliant laundry equipment at the proper extraction and temperature settings using the proper chemicals. Thorough wash records should be maintained to ensure best practices are followed for every piece of PPE in your inventory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>The Power of Prevention Starts with Unimac<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0.5em\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/UniMac_Guide-To-Proper-PPE-Cleaning-1.pdf\">Download an eBook<\/a> specifically designed with The Brotherhood in mind.<\/p>\n<h4>Get a Grant<\/h4>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/assistance-firefighters-grant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE ASSISTANCE TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT<\/a> (AFG):<\/strong> The AFG\u2019s primary goal is to uphold the health and confidence of our nation\u2019s firefighters by assisting departments across the U.S. in their courageous efforts to maintain safe and secure communities.
