Description A turnout gear extractor is a specialized washing machine designed to clean firefighters' protective clothing, known as turnout gear. This gear includes items like jackets, pants, gloves, and boots that are worn during firefighting operation.

Justification It's necessary for:

1. Health and Safety : Turnout gear can become contaminated with hazardous substances such as smoke, soot, chemicals, and biological agents. Proper cleaning helps remove these contaminants, reducing the risk of long-term health issues for firefighters. 2. Gear Longevity : Regular and proper cleaning helps maintain the integrity and functionality of the gear. Contaminants can degrade the materials over time, so using an extractor helps extend the life of the gear. 3. Compliance : We're required to follow specific standards and regulations regarding the maintenance and cleaning of turnout gear, such as NFPA 1851. Using an extractor ensures that these standards are met. 4. Performance : Clean gear performs better. Removing contaminants can help maintain the gear's protective qualities, ensuring that it provides the necessary protection during firefighting operations.

This gear extractor will replace station 2's 2012 UniMac.
