Our Firefighters are exposed to dangers every day, many of them deadly. However many of these dangers are out of their control. MRSA is another danger that has invaded their firehouses, now there is a technology that was developed for the U.S. Defense Dept., to neutralize a buildings contaminated with Anthrax. This technology is NOW available to give our firefighters the peace of mind that the surfaces they clean up in, cook in, sleep and sit on are MRSA free.
As a physician with an understanding of infectious disease and considering the jump from hospital acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) to community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) it makes sense for the fire departments around the globe to potentially have concerns over MRSA and other potentially deadly pathogens invading their own fire station. The close sleeping quarters, showers, and group lounges are perfect environments for MRSA to flourish in and may live up to 9 months on surfaces.
SteraMist (BIT®) was developed by a major U.S. defense contractor and is activated Hydrogen Peroxide that is aerosolized into a mist with a six-log kill upon contact of bacteria, molds, and spores. It was first used by the United States Biological Combat Assessment System Program and The Airborne Warning and Control System Program. SteraMist (BIT®) is a shoot and spray methodology applicable to masks, uniforms, equipment, showers, beds, and almost any surface leaving behind no residue while deactivating viruses.
TOMI is discounting our SteraMist (BIT®) Portable unit 10 percent as a courtesy for the heroic services they do for our communities. Please feel free to donate these units to your local firehouses.
