After cleaning, turnout gear has to dry without the high heat that would degrade the protective materials, so fire departments buy controlled drying cabinets built for gear rather than ordinary dryers. These post as their own purchases.
What the solicitation contains
A turnout gear drying cabinet solicitation sets the number of gear sets it dries at once, the controlled air drying without excessive heat, the drying time, the configuration for the station, and the install, referencing the NFPA care standard and allowing a brand name or equal.
What decides the award
A drying cabinet award turns on drying the gear thoroughly without heat that damages it, the capacity for the department, and the fit for the station space. The agent flags the drying method, the capacity, the care standard reference, and the approved equal terms.
How the agent handles it
Our agent pulls each turnout gear drying cabinet solicitation, reads the controlled drying and capacity terms, and scores the fit against your gear drying lines and territory.
The agent reads the controlled drying that gear requires, not the heat of an ordinary dryer. See the fire turnout gear bid agent in the interactive demo.
