OVERVIEW

If your project requires direct access to on-call firefighters, IRWIN'S will deploy teams of NFPA-certified industrial firefighters to provide services on either a short-term (project-based) or long-term (regular service) basis. These firefighters are typically positioned closer to your worksite than the nearest fire station and equipped to deal with workplace incidents. In addition to combatting various types of fires, our industrial firefighters can also perform rescue and hazardous materials operations. 

Our industrial firefighters are all NFPA-certified. These certifications may include NFPA 1001 (Structural Firefighting); NFPA 1006 (Technical Rescue); and NFPA 472 (Hazardous Materials). 

Industrial firefighters can respond to: 

  • Structural Fires (house or small building fires) 
  • Industrial Fires (fires occurring on large industrial worksites) 
  • Underground Fires 
  • Wildfires (as First Response) 
  • Hazardous Materials (spills, explosions, etc.) 
  • Rescue Incidents (Confined Space and High-Angle Rope Rescue)  
  • Highway Rescue Incidents (Low-Angle Rescue) 

 

IRWIN'S Safety is also proud to of their ultra high-pressure fire suppression PyroUHP Technology that is available for purchase or rental. Please contact us to learn more!
