Plenty of stock is rightfully placed on testing the air that goes into the high-pressure cylinders worn by firefighters. But what about the air in the spaces that house them while they wait to answer the call of duty? Safety Lab Plus has devised a way to assure that the air breathed in the living areas of fire houses, where they spend most of their time, is safe.

SLP tests to several different National Fire Protection Association standards, including NFPA 1851.
