NFPA 1851 Classes

We pride ourselves at Shamrock Gear & Repair LLC in being able to provide not only Firefighter Ensemble Maintenance but also:

Firefighter Ensemble Maintenance Education

What does this mean?

Firefighters have an understanding that their fire gear is made to protect them, and to protect it should be clean and in good repair.  But, sometimes that is as far as it goes.  It can be a hassle to clean your gear and have it out of service while being repaired.  It can be a much greater hassle having to wear gear that is in disarray, deteriorating, and essentially not protecting you to its fullest capability.  You check your air pack to make sure it is functioning perfectly, why not make sure the "clothes on your back" are are reaching their highest standards?

 The materials used in protective clothing is not indestructible.  It takes unique care to maintain it to its fullest potential.  Much of this maintenance can be performed "in house" in your department.  We can help you do this.  Our NFPA 1851 Recognition Class helps to educate your members to clean and inspect fire gear as per the specifications of the manufacturers, NFPA 1971, and NFPA 1851.  Members attending will receive a certificate recognizing them to perform these duties in their respective departments.  This class can be especially helpful when NFPA 1851 2007 Edition takes effect.

Seminar Notification Registration 2007

 

October 19th Seminar a Success

 

On October 19th 2006, Shamrock Gear held its first training seminar over NFPA 1851- The Selection, Care, and Maintenance of the Firefighter Ensemble.  The class seemed to be a success due to the participant response/ evaluation, participant involvement, questions and conversations. 

The day started with Group Presentation- Power Point and discussion at East Sparta Fire Dept. training room.  This is the background of "how to" and "why" we should select, care, and maintain fire gear as recommended.  Hopefully the best part was not the coffee and donuts!

In the second half of the morning, we moved to the shop.  This gave participants an opportunity to see what Shamrock Gear has to offer, but also get some hands on experience in the cleaning,  inspection and testing of firefighter gear.  This is the time when we wanted individuals to gain experience and confidence in the responsibility of maintaining the ensemble elements. 

Overall the day was very educational for both participants and presenters.  We look forward to seeing new faces in the future, and gaining feedback from anyone who has attended. 

We welcome your knowledge, experience, feedback, and opinions.  We are striving to help individuals stay healthy and safe!
