Fire departments and municipalities throughout the country are taking a hard look at the overwhelming statistics and warnings about firefighter/EMT health (
). Many fire departments are fixing the problem by combining two state-of-the-art systems from one company—MagneGrip—to ensure that their firefighter/EMTs have maximum protection.
MagneGrip is the only company that manufactures both
source-capture exhaust removal systems
(MagneGrip) using hose-and-nozzle that connect to the apparatus tailpipe, and
air purification systems
(AirHAWK) filtration units that suspend from the ceiling. This combination provides the most complete protection from engine diesel exhaust, off-gases from equipment and turnout gear used at the fire scene, toxic air blown in from the tarmac, and airborne contamination. This combination system provides greater liability protection for municipalities—and it best fits the intent of FEMA and NFPA recommendations.
