Webinar: The Science of Post-Fire Decon
July 8 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Post-fire decontamination has become a critical component of firefighter health and safety programs, but the science behind effective decon continues to evolve. As new research expands our understanding of contamination, exposure pathways, and decontamination effectiveness, fire departments are increasingly challenged to evaluate how these findings translate into operational practice.
Join First Line Technology for an in-depth discussion on the science driving post-fire decontamination. This webinar will explore current research, emerging trends, and practical lessons learned from the field, providing attendees with a deeper understanding of the factors that influence decon outcomes and responder protection.
Drawing from scientific studies, operational experience, and real-world applications, we’ll examine how contaminants are transferred throughout the response environment, what current evidence tells us about effective decon strategies, and how departments can assess and strengthen their existing decontamination programs. We’ll also discuss advancements in decon technologies, implementation considerations, and the balance between operational realities and best practices.
Whether you’re responsible for firefighter safety, health and wellness initiatives, hazmat operations, or department leadership, this session will provide valuable insights into the latest developments shaping post-fire decontamination and responder protection.
