In today’s fire service, protecting your crew doesn't end when the flames are out. We all know someone who's battled the forbidden six-letter word. Increasingly, the fight is against invisible threats — carcinogens that linger on gear, hoses, and equipment long after the scene is cleared.

One of the most overlooked culprits? The fire hose itself.

The Hidden Danger on Every Hose

Fire hoses travel straight from the smoke-filled environment to the back of the apparatus, then into the bay and storage racks — often without a proper decontamination process. Over time, this creates a silent pipeline for toxic residue, introducing harmful contaminants into your vehicles, stations, and ultimately, your firefighters’ lives.

That’s where the HDS Hose Decon System distributed by Rescue Systems Unlimited comes in.

Built for the Front Lines of Modern Firefighting

The HDS is an innovative, portable decontamination solution specifically engineered to remove harmful carcinogens directly at the scene, where they pose the greatest risk. Compact and easy to transport, it allows departments to wash hoses before they ever touch the truck or firehouse floor.

With its high-efficiency design, the HDS quickly and thoroughly removes the toxic residue that standard hose wipes can’t reach. The result? Cleaner hoses. Cleaner rigs. Safer stations.

Why Fire Departments Across the Southeast Trust the HDS:

On-Scene Efficiency – Decontaminate hoses in minutes, right after suppression.
Portable & Lightweight – Easy to deploy, store, and transport.
Cost-Effective Prevention – Reduces long-term exposure risks to firefighters and facilities.
