Bunker gear has to be cleaned before any repairs can be made. To maintain the integrity of the PPE garment the NFPA states that gear should not be washed more than once in a six month period. FPA Clean washes each garment with a specialized wet-wash process that does not degrade the integrity, nor invalidate the warranty.

NFPA Clean uses the Check6 Aerospace cleaning agent and a state of the art industrial-size washer/extractors. This facilitates a deep clean, and the extractors make use of an electrically operated valve system, fresh-water-flushing chemical manifold and a six liquid chemical injection point to ensure a strict quality controlled wash according to National Fire Protection Agency regulations.

NFPA Clean will provide you with a very competitive quote for cases of severe contamination, and if we can’t clean it, we don’t charge.

The certified professional staff at NFPA Clean is trained by leading bunker gear manufacturers to repair and make alterations to:

We adhere to all NFPA standards and ensure that rips, tears, burn holes and any other repairs required are taken care of professionally and quickly. Our staff uses flame retardant Nomex and Kevlar for patching and stitching. The repairs to any bunker gear made by NFPA Clean ensures that the lifespan of bunker gear is extended beyond what many might believed to be possible. Repairing bunker gear costs far less than purchasing replacement PPE. Leading safety protocols dictated by NFPA regulations are observed at all times when repairing bunker gear.

Customization of Bunker Gear
All firefighting bunker gear is able to be customized and regardless whether it is an alteration to size, moving a name patch, or adding an extra pocket, we at the NFPA Clean custom alteration shop, can make these changes. Our staff in the custom alteration shop are properly trained and equipped to deal with any alterations according to NFPA standards.

All bunker gear should be inspected according to NFPA regulations. The three levels of inspection that the Staff of NFPA Clean is fully certified to carry out the following:

Routine Inspection
Generally carried out by the owner of the bunker gear, a routine inspection should occur regularly. A firefighter needs to look for the following potential problems:

Advanced Inspection
NFPA 1851 guidelines suggest that an advanced inspection should be carried out once every six months. This inspection needs to be carried out by a certified third party such as NFPA Clean.
During an advanced inspection the following procedures have to be followed:

If bunker gear has been in use for more than three years, a complete liner inspection must take place at least once a year. It is required that the liner be separated from the main body of the garment. This exposes the hidden sides of the moisture barrier and thermal liner. An investigation of the liner is carried out to test the moisture and water penetration barrier with the results of this test to be evaluated. Bunker gear then needs to be sewn back together providing the inspection has found the integrity of the gear to be in tact.
