On a fire scene the actual fire, toxic smoke, and the risk of a collapse are far from the only dangers. Fire environments expose equipment to smoke and soot containing harmful and potentially carcinogenic substances. These contaminants can remain on surfaces long after an incident if not properly removed. As a result, thousands of firefighters are diagnosed with cancer every year. In fact, cancer caused 70% of the line-of-duty deaths for career firefighters in 2016.
CLEAN GEAR SAVES LIVES! At Interspiro we have worked with preventing health problems within the fire service for many years. This is of the utmost importance when we develop new products, and we can proudly say we produce some of the world’s most cleanable firefighting systems.
Easy Clean is our unique concept for safe, fast and effective cleaning of the Interspiro products. With an absolute minimum of textiles, Easy Clean products are much less susceptible to carcinogens and when combined with our own detergent allows for a clean result after every wash.
Together we will defeat work-related cancer in the fire service.
