Strategies to Keep Firefighters and PPE Safe, Compliant, and Ready
Firefighter protective gear is the last line of defense on the fireground, but it’s only effective if it’s inspected and maintained the right way.
In this webinar, we break down the five most common mistakes departments make when checking and maintaining turnout gear, SCBA, and other critical equipment. You’ll learn what the NFPA 1850 standard requires, how to spot issues before they become hazards, and how to streamline compliance without drowning in paperwork, using modern asset management tools like Vector Check It.
