Fire Scene Personal Protective Equipment & Decon KIT
We provide a total solution for those needing typical PPE necessary for entering and exiting a fire scene. We provide the equipment, coordinate fit testing, provide basic training for safe PPE donning and doffing in order to help you enter a fire scene with less risk of contacting hazardous materials that could harm you. Our kits and online training course make a great combination for insurance adjusters, homeowners, tenants, police officers or other personnel who need to enter a burned structure to see the damages, get a few photos and get out without contaminating themselves, the environment, vehicles, office or home.
Years of experience gained as a forensic fire investigator, fire fighter dealing with fire scenes, hazardous materials responses and managing scene safety is shared with clients to help them better understand and be prepared for the risks present at hazardous fire scenes.
Please understand the limitations. We are not equipping you to investigate and manage fire scenes. The purpose of our PPE & Decon Kit is to help those who may need to make a short duration entry to observe a fire scene, take a few photos and get out.
Important note - this course does qualify any person to enter a structure damaged to the point where a structural engineer's assessment is required prior to entry. Guidance from a qualified structural engineer must be obtained and adhered to when planning to enter a structure with structural damages.
