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.
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.

With Aspen, Ness Lake Fire doesn’t need to service equipment sitting all winter; a huge savings. Engines start on the first pull every time. It has no odor so can be safely stored in the truck. Impressive. I strongly recommend Aspen.
Chief Percy Dergez
Van Anda Fire switched to prevent destabilized fuel from fouling our equipment. We don’t have to drain and dispose of out-of-date fuel twice a year.
Chief Mike Craggs
Vanderhoof Fire now has no problems with engines not starting, no fouled carbs or sparkplugs. I promote Aspen to other departments.
