Independent Testing by a Certified Industrial Hygienist

An independent study conducted by a certified industrial hygienist of fire hoses from 10 different fires included laboratory analysis by an AIHA accredited laboratory for combustion by-products including soot, char and ash, pH, and chloride anions. Testing of the fire hoses was conducted before and after cleaning with the Fire Hose Decon machine. Each hose was run through the Fire Hose Decon one time for approximately one minute. In one minute of cleaning, there was a reduction of 97.12% chloride anions, 83.94% reduction in combustion by products and the pH returned to neutral levels. The best results are the minimized exposures to the firefighters by cleaning the hose on scene instead of loading dirty hose, unloading dirty hose, cleaning the hose with brushes and returning the hose to the truck. By cleaning the hose on scene, exposures to carcinogens are reduced by at least 67%.

Why Fire Hose Decon?

The Fire Hose Decon was created to help prevent firefighters from being exposed to cancerous byproducts of firefighting through fire hoses. It also helps get firefighters back in service quicker, improve the longevity of fire hose, and keep fire trucks looking good.

The FHD was designed by a Phoenix FF/Engineer who constantly ran into issues cleaning the fire hose after every fire. The choice was to load the contaminated hose back onto the truck, take it to the fire station, unload it, power wash the fire hose, and then reload it. This method takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention that the fire truck is out of service during this period. The other option was to load the contaminated hose back onto the truck and leave it. Both options required us to take contaminated hose back to the station and be exposed to it multiple times.

The Solution

The Fire Hose Decon solves all these problems. It was designed to connect the fire trucks hand line, so it can be taken anywhere the hand line can reach (up to 200ft), to clean the fire hose on scene after every fire to prevent exposure and spreading of these contaminates. Washing the hose as it’s being loaded onto the truck is a great feature, especially if you are loading the hose in a contaminated, dirty, or muddy area.

The goal was to create something that was simple to use, compact, easy to deploy, and very durable. After multiple prototypes and hours of engineering he felt he created what we sought out to create. This is the quickest and most efficient way to clean hose on scene after a fire.

Don't bring dirty hose back to the station. Leave contaminants at the fire scene where they belong

Fire Hose Decon Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5

In my fourteen years as a firefighter, the importance of cleaning ourselves and our equipment has never been so critical. The fact the fire hose decon makes cleaning our hoses so easily makes it a valuable tool for our crews! I can remember laying our hose out, spraying one side, flipping it over and repeating. That was if we cleaned our hose at all! Now, with the fire hose decon, we can pass the hose through and effectively clean both sides! Removing the gunk and carcinogens and making our hose beds look clean and professional. Recently my department had a 6 alarm fire. It seemed our truck used every inch of hose possible. The fire hose decon made cleaning all that hose a snap!

I have been with the Phoenix Fire Department for just over 23 years, and I have seen many changes throughout the years. The one that has impacted firefighting and firefighters the most is the type of materials used in construction and the manufacturing of products. I truly believe this has caused the increase of cancer we are seeing in our profession. The Fire Hose Decon helps eliminate some of that exposure, it also saves an incredible amount of time and manpower after a fire has been extinguished. I have had the opportunity to use the Hose Decon unit on many fires over the past year and am always amazed at how well it cleans the fire hose while saving time and back breaking work.

Using the hose Decon gives us the ability to clean our fire hose off at the scene of the fire right after the fire is out vs. taking the hose back to the fire station- eliminating the hassle of taking the fire hose on and off of the truck. It is a quick and easy set up allowing for the hose to be cleaned at the scene and back on the fire truck ready to go.

As a 20+ year firefighter, I have seen products come and go, but I hope to see this one stick around. Let’s face it, picking up and washing hose is a “drag”, but this Fire Hose Decon is easy to set up, it is well made, and makes cleaning hose a breeze. This will make your crew’s job easier, and prolong the life of the hose with regular use. These should come standard on every engine or truck with hose. I would recommend the Fire Hose Decon to any crew, fire department, or apparatus manufacturer who wants to keep their equipment clean and their fighters happy.

Fire Hose Decon is what we've been needing on the fire truck for a long time. After years and years of scrubbing hoses on scene or back at the firehouse after a fire this appliance is the new way to quickly and effectively clean hoses! This was a much needed addition to our total decon process.

As a Firefighter I have always wondered how I could clean our fire hose more effectively prior to loading it back on the truck. The Fire hose Decon system is a very fast and efficient way to clean all the ash, debris, remnants or residue after every fire while you are loading it on your fire truck. Gone are the days of coming back to the station unloading, washing and reloading the fire hose. Load and go, and on to the next one. This is one of the best products out there!!!!
