TFT have a range of products focused on protecting firefighters from harmful airborne contaminants such as particulates, aerosols, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). From detection tests to decontamination and filtration systems, TFT ensures the safety of firefighters by effectively eliminating air contamination and airborne threats encountered daily. 

TFT AirCard

The AirCard is an easy way to test for health harmful levels of VOCs in the air that firefighters breathe. The card is loaded with purple pellets that detect VOCs in the air. Inside of the 30-day testing period, the faster the pellets lose their purple color, the higher the VOC levels are.

Using Air Card:
Choose a location: Place your AirCard in a location where your crew spends time – usually the station or apparatus. Scan the QR Code: The QR code will bring you to a simple form. Locate your department and fill out any requested information. Occasionally you will get a reminder to check on your card.
Watch your AirCard: You should check in on your AirCard regularly. If you notice that the beads have lost their purple color (they may change to a variety of colors), scan your QR code again to submit your results. If there is still some purple remaining after 30 days, scan the QR code to end the air quality evaluation and consider testing again in 60 days.
Evaluate your results: After you submit your results, you will receive an email explaining what your results mean along with some next steps to help protect the health of your crew.

CrewProtect is a self-contained and comprehensive air decontamination and filtration system designed for enclosed cabs. This advanced device ensures the safety of firefighters, and the extended first responder team by effectively eliminating air contamination and airborne threats encountered daily. 

CrewProtect tackles critical air contamination issues faced by firefighters, including particulates, aerosols, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This robust system provides unparalleled protection against multiple carcinogenic contaminants that other air filtration systems often miss. Moreover, CrewProtect guarantees safety by avoiding the introduction of harmful elements, such as ozone and formaldehyde, which some competing products may inadvertently add to the environment.

1. Airborne Contaminants: Firefighters and first responders are exposed to harmful airborne contaminants such as particulates, aerosols, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can cause long-term health issues.
2. Carcinogenic Threats: The presence of multiple carcinogenic contaminants in the air poses a significant cancer risk to emergency personnel.
3. Health Risks in Vehicles: Contaminants do not stay at the scene of an incident but travel with the crew in the cab of their vehicles, leading to continuous exposure to harmful substances.
4. Insufficient Filtration by Other Systems: Some air filtration systems fail to remove all dangerous contaminants and can even introduce harmful elements like ozone and formaldehyde into the environment.
5. Invisible Threats: Many harmful airborne threats are not visible, making it difficult for emergency personnel to be aware of their presence and take protective measures.
6. Prolonged Exposure: Without adequate filtration, emergency personnel face prolonged exposure to contaminants during and after emergency responses, increasing the risk of illness and other health concerns.

StationProtect is an advanced air decontamination system engineered for fire stations and other high-risk environments. Using cutting-edge multi-stage filtration, it removes 99.95% of particulates as small as 0.3 microns and 95% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde and toluene. By eliminating harmful airborne contaminants, StationProtect ensures a safer and healthier workspace for firefighters.

Designed for durability and ease of use, this compact and mobile system can be quickly installed in spaces like apparatus bays, gear rooms, and living quarters. With StationProtect, fire stations can maintain clean air quality while reducing long-term health risks for their teams.

What Problems Does StationProtect Solve for Firefighters?

StationProtect is designed to address critical challenges faced by firefighters due to poor air quality. Here are the key problems it solves:

1. Harmful Particulates: Filters out 99.95% of particles, including mold spores, aerosols, ash, and dust, reducing risks of respiratory illnesses.
2. Dangerous VOCs: Removes 95% of volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, toluene, and PFAS, which are linked to long-term health issues.
3. Diesel Exhaust Hazards: Captures harmful diesel particulates found in apparatus bays, minimizing risks associated with cancer and other diseases.
4. Stagnant Air in Key Spaces: Improves air circulation in bunk rooms, gear storage areas, and day rooms, providing consistent purification where it’s needed most.
5. Maintenance Challenges: Features a pre-filter and LED filter life indicator for simplified upkeep, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring peak performance.
6. Difficult Installations: Offers a user-friendly design with wheels and a single power cable, making installation quick and easy in any fire station environment.

By addressing these issues, StationProtect helps firefighters focus on their mission without worrying about the air they breathe.
