Meeting the Needs of Ohio Fire
Departments
While the budget for fire department PPE
continues to shrink year after year, the
level of
protection required to keep fire fighters
safe in the field does not.
Departments benefit from accurate and
detailed information regarding the condition
of ensembles and ensemble elements; not only
for safety, but for budgeting new
replacement ensembles and reserve gear;
along with managing existing maintenance and
repairs.
Apex Fire Services is the first and only
Independent Service Provider (ISP) in the
state of Ohio that has listened to our
customers and brought the inspection and
documentation process directly to the fire
house in an affordable
and efficient customer focused approach.

Why Inspect PPE?
Ensembles and ensemble elements are the
first line of defense in fire fighter
safety. Certain inspection criteria
must be met in order to insure proper
functionality of the ensemble.
NFPA 1851, Standard on the Selection,
Care and Maintenance of Personal Protective
Ensembles (PPE) and the Specific Safety
Requirements of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’
Compensation (OAC 4123:1-21) require annual
Advanced Inspection of personal protective
ensembles and ensemble elements.
An Advanced Inspection of PPE ensembles
incorporates a complete liner inspection
with a hydrostatic test of
the Moisture
Barrier and a light evaluation of the
Thermal Liner, in conjunction with an
overall assessment of the ensemble.
Until now, performing and documenting
this process has been costly in manpower,
time, and budget. Only Apex
Fire Services
brings the solution to the fire house.
When it comes to repair of PPE through
these documented findings, Apex Fire
Services has the answer for
timely and cost
effective repairs to help keep your gear on
the front line. We measure our turn around
time in
days, not weeks. Give us a call
today to find out how your department
will bene t from our services!
