📋 Tender Overview
Project : FRS-003-20
Project Description : A Washer Extractor is a commercial clothes washing machine designed to accommodate heavy duty clothing such as bunker gear and extracts contaminants from the garment more effectively than regular washing machines. Bunker Gear, sometimes referred to as turnout gear, is the pant and coat ensemble worn by firefighters that protects their body from thermal injury when fighting a fire and is worn with other items to provide full body and respiratory protection for firefighters. Regular cleaning through the utilization of an extractor washer is part of NFPA 1851 – Standard on Selection Care and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting. Clean bunker gear is an essential part of WFRS’ cleaning and maintenance program which is aimed at reducing workplace exposures to the carcinogens generated at every fire.
