Turnout Gear Drying
At Ready Rack, we believe that it’s important for fire stations to prefect their turnout gear decon routines! One of the best ways to do this is to outfit your station with firefighter PPE extractors and dryers that are NFPA 1850 compliant. For this reason, your department can ensure a proper wash with a quick drying turnaround. In addition to that, they can also take multiple sets of bunker gear shells or liners at a time! Learn about how simple it is to clean your PPE and make it last longer below!
Why Trust Ready Rack With Your Gear?
Since the 1980s, Ready Rack has worked hard to make first responder’s turnout gear safer by pioneering the open-air turnout gear storage system. The feedback from users told us that the airflow and organization helped firefighters have their gear ready for the next call. With this in mind, Ready Rack expanded the Health & Wellness product line to make it easier for firefighters to wash, dry, and store, their PPE to keep them safer and help their gear last longer.
We believe that by creating a full decontamination line that is both easy to install and operate, we come closer to achieving our goal of helping our heroes stay safer than ever before on the job!
