what we need
Our Goals
SAUNAS FOR ALL STATIONS & TRAINING
Saunas hold significant importance for firefighters as a means of mitigating the detrimental effects of exposure to heat, smoke, and toxins during firefighting operations. Regular sauna use has been shown to aid in the detoxification process by promoting sweating, which helps eliminate toxins accumulated in the body.
EXTRICATION EQUIPMENT
Extrication equipment stands as an indispensable lifeline for firefighters, serving as a vital arsenal in rescue operations where every second counts. Its significance lies in its ability to swiftly and safely extricate individuals trapped in vehicles or collapsed structures, often in perilous circumstances.
Decontamination buckets & wet wipes
Decontamination buckets are indispensable tools for firefighters, serving as frontline defenses against the hazardous substances encountered during firefighting operations. These portable containers, equipped with brushes, detergents, and water, facilitate the immediate removal of contaminants from personal protective equipment (PPE) and firefighting gear after exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other harmful agents.
- GOAL TRACKER: Decontamination buckets and extra wet wipes. 50%
Resilency training
Resilience training holds paramount importance for firefighters, equipping them with the psychological fortitude and coping mechanisms necessary to navigate the challenging and often traumatic nature of their profession. Firefighters routinely encounter high-stress situations, including life-threatening emergencies, scenes of devastation, and exposure to human suffering, which can take a toll on their mental well-being.
Thermal Imaging camera for all firefighters
Thermal imaging cameras (TICs) are indispensable tools for firefighters, providing critical advantages in both firefighting and rescue operations. Their importance lies in their ability to detect heat signatures and visualize thermal contrasts in low-visibility environments, enabling firefighters to Enhance Situational Awareness, Locate Victims, Detect Hotspots and Fire Extension, Improve Firefighter Safety and Increase Efficiency and Effectiveness.
crocs or station shoes for all firefighters
Station shoes for firefighters are essential pieces of footwear that serve multiple purposes and hold significant importance within the firefighting profession.
cancer screenings
Cancer screenings for firefighters are of paramount importance due to their heightened risk of developing various types of cancer as a result of occupational exposure to carcinogens. Regular screenings enable early detection, which is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and increasing the chances of successful recovery. Key screenings recommended for firefighters include skin cancer, lung, prostate, colorectal and other types of screenings.
cardiac scans (IIII)
Cardiac scans for firefighters are of utmost importance due to the elevated risk of cardiovascular disease within this profession. Firefighters face numerous factors that contribute to cardiovascular health risks, including exposure to high levels of stress, physical exertion during emergency responses, and exposure to hazardous substances such as smoke and chemicals.
