I have always been fond of the saying “everyone has a story” as a reminder to practice kindness and respect because you don’t know what difficulties someone may be facing. Reactions to this pandemic will be as personal as pain is subjective. Some people are doing pretty peachy, stitching together silver linings like an elaborate quilt. And others are becoming sick by the very act of avoiding the sickness, by the stress and isolation. Fears of an impending tsunami of mental illness abound, but so do stories of positivity and levity. Humans are very resilient creatures.

Protect first responders with the AIRVAC 911® Engine Exhaust Removal System. No hoses and hands free, this automatic system protects 100% of the apparatus bay area by constantly monitoring and automatically removing diesel exhaust and particulate matter from your station. At the heart of our four-stage filtration system is a MERV 16 rated filter that has the ability to remove particles 0.3-1.0 microns in size at an efficiency of greater than 95%.
There are no building modifications, vehicle attachments, ducting or external exhaust fans. Plus, the system doesn’t interfere with daily operations or response time. Address hot zones by removing off-gassing of turnout gear, hoses and parked vehicles. Remove “engine backwash” every time a vehicle leaves and returns.
AIRVAC 911 ® meets NFPA requirements, is half the cost of hose systems and the only maintenance is periodic filter changes.
Control the spread of contaminants.
