Go to interviewWe must not underestimate the cancer risk from fire. We must protect everyone in the fire service.

Go to interviewI had never heard about fire increasing cancer risk until I started dealing with Meiko. We hear very little about it in Tyrol. But now I know how important it is to separate the clean and dirty areas of the SCBA workshop and to properly disinfect the respiratory protective equipment.

Go to interviewThere's a lot still to be done in the equipment rooms. Often, the clean and dirty sides are not separated because there isn't enough space. We try to protect ourselves as well as we can. None of us wants to get cancer down the line.

For more than ten years, MEIKO has been developing appliances with fire services, for services to clean and disinfect respiratory protective and other fire service equipment. SCBA technicians especially benefit from cleaning and disinfection solutions for respiratory protective equipment.
