Enhanced Responder Personal Protective Equipment Transport Bags

First responders are exposed to hazardous chemicals, toxins, and particles as part of their response operations, and those hazardous contaminants may collect on and be absorbed by their protective gear. The gear bags that many first responders use to store their personal protective equipment (PPE) are not designed to effectively provide containment of hazardous contaminants. Thus, these compounds could contaminate nearby materials or areas. The use of transport bags for responder PPE can offer enhanced containment that is specifically designed to mitigate the risk for spread of fireground contamination.
