BKV Co-authored Article, “Designing Fire Stations to Minimize Carcinogenic Contamination” Published in Firehouse Magazine

Not all threats to firefighter safety are visible to the naked eye. What’s more, they can pose risks long after the final flames were extinguished. Enter BKV Group.

As articulated by our industry-leading fire station/EMS design team in the latest issue of Firehouse Magazine, Craig Carter, Mark Manetti, and Brandon Adams provided insights related to how “every piece of apparatus and equipment that is within reasonable proximity to a fire event is likely contaminated with toxins and carcinogens.” From floors, to walls, to ceilings and roofs, our team details how all parts of a facility should be systematically cleaned upon return to the station. With our deep knowledge of national standards and best practices, this topic is of great importance to us with it greatly impacting firefighter safety and well-being, and we are committed to pushing ourselves further in favor of creating facilities that serve our clients and communities better.
