The January e-Grapevine 🍇

In an agreement with Cres Cor, an industry leader in manufacturing commercial food service equipment, we have been provided with 2 prototype decontamination systems to incorporate into our existing decontamination protocols for a 4-week trial period. One system is a moist heat, chemical free device which will allow us to decontaminate various PPE such as turn out gear, our daily uniforms, helmets, goggles, and ballistic vests. The second system uses UV light and dry heat to decontaminate electronics such as our keyboards and radio MICs. We are pleased to be part of this trial which is a step in the development of localized decontamination systems for First Responders.
