00:00.000 --> 00:02.083
(sirens)

00:05.360 --> 00:06.840
- [Brian Goden] When the
alarm sounds and air force

00:06.840 --> 00:09.070
firefighters were called to perform

00:09.070 --> 00:11.210
their job is inherently dangerous

00:11.210 --> 00:12.881
enough without having
to be concerned about

00:12.881 --> 00:15.310
breathing exhaust from the emergency

00:15.310 --> 00:16.810
response vehicles.

00:16.810 --> 00:17.920
- The old mindset was:

00:17.920 --> 00:19.100
the dirtier you get at the

00:19.100 --> 00:20.670
fire scene, it made you made you more

00:20.670 --> 00:21.990
important as a firefighter.

00:21.990 --> 00:23.670
When in all actuality, for

00:23.670 --> 00:24.970
us to be good and effective

00:24.970 --> 00:26.719
firefighters, we need to reduce

00:26.719 --> 00:28.400
contamination.

00:28.400 --> 00:30.160
- So, since airmen firefighter

00:30.160 --> 00:32.170
safety is job number one for the

00:32.170 --> 00:33.700
Air Force. Civil Engineers Center's

00:33.700 --> 00:35.680
Fire & Emergency Services division,

00:35.680 --> 00:38.040
firetruck program manager Fred Tarren

00:38.040 --> 00:40.550
visited E-ONE Firetruck manufacturing

00:40.550 --> 00:42.240
facility in Ocala, Florida

00:42.240 --> 00:44.120
to oversee the first installation

00:44.120 --> 00:46.030
of the ward diesel no-smoke

00:46.030 --> 00:47.760
diesel exhaust filtration system

00:47.760 --> 00:49.880
on a brand new Air Force firetruck.

00:49.880 --> 00:52.260
- Every new truck that the Air Force buys

00:52.260 --> 00:54.850
will have this system on the truck.

00:54.850 --> 00:56.960
Whether it's our water tankers, our

00:56.960 --> 00:58.950
fire trucks, our quints, our aerials

00:58.950 --> 01:00.202
or structural trusts, making the

01:00.202 --> 01:02.440
fire station and the insolence

01:02.440 --> 01:04.060
a safer place for our firefighters.

01:04.060 --> 01:06.090
- It's something that's in line,

01:06.090 --> 01:08.130
it's always on, so any time that

01:08.130 --> 01:09.110
truck is running,

01:09.110 --> 01:10.050
no matter where it is,

01:10.050 --> 01:12.130
it's helping litigate and reduce

01:12.130 --> 01:13.810
that risk of any kind of exposure

01:13.810 --> 01:15.010
to any kind of contaminants.

01:15.010 --> 01:17.260
- Filter manufacturer and installer,

01:17.260 --> 01:19.930
Ward Diesel, claims the one of a kind,

01:19.930 --> 01:22.430
on board filtration technology virtually

01:22.430 --> 01:24.090
eliminates potentially harmful

01:24.090 --> 01:26.270
contaminants from diesel and in exhaust.

01:26.270 --> 01:29.520
- It's reduction 99.9 percent. It's

01:29.520 --> 01:31.820
an activation process, and it's we have

01:31.820 --> 01:34.064
patented with the newer stout engines

01:34.064 --> 01:38.020
have an EPA system and exhaust that

01:38.020 --> 01:40.240
is for outdoor air quality and

01:40.240 --> 01:41.740
what we do, we take it to that

01:41.740 --> 01:42.830
indoor quality.

01:42.830 --> 01:44.050
- It's just another way that

01:44.050 --> 01:46.240
the Air Force is trying to protect

01:46.240 --> 01:48.380
the health and safety of the firefighters.

01:48.380 --> 01:50.100
We try every day from a health

01:50.100 --> 01:51.790
and safety perspective, to help

01:51.790 --> 01:54.030
our firefighters be more effective

01:54.030 --> 01:54.880
and efficient.

01:54.880 --> 01:56.310
- For the Air Force installation and

01:56.310 --> 01:58.663
mission support center, I'm Brian Goden.
