VIDEO: As first responders take precautions against COVID-19 contamination, those efforts include extensive measures to sterilize fire stations and equipment. Crew members from Express 911 Board Up spent several hours Wednesday using different methods to sterilize the White River Township Department headquarters in Greenwood. Express Restoration President Robert Turner explained how ozone gas is used to disinfect fire and ambulance equipment inside an enclosed trailer parked outside. “We’ve got an EPA registered device that produces ozone gas that we’re going to enclose all of the equipment in this trailer,” Turner explained. “We’ll let it run for 15 minutes, which will then disinfect all of the contents inside.” Chief Jeremy Pell said sterilizing gear and equipment is a vital step every time firefighters return from an emergency call.
