Firefighters love LG professional devices and BW ozone generator!

In May of this year, the Public Fire Department of Garešnica joined the units which have already discovered the benefits of this combination.

With professional washing machines and dryers, they elevated the hygiene of their protective suits to a new level, and in combination with the BW ozone generator, they achieved results that exceeded all their expectations.

Commander Tomislav Kunješić revealed what prompted them to seek a professional solution.

Challenge: Proper washing of protective suits

"Before, we didn't have laundry devices at our firehouse, so everyone washed their uniforms at home, according to the instructions. However, during a professional gathering of firefighters in Opatija that I attended, the commander of JVP Zagreb presented some data that really shocked me," says Mr. Tomislav Kunješić, the commander of JVP Garešnica.

"Statistics indicate that testicular cancer is becoming a more prevalent cause of death among firefighters. Exposure to carcinogenic toxins at fire sites increases the risk, and improperly washed protective suits can significantly contribute to this issue. In the US, protective suits are often referred to as "carcinogenic blankets"."

Determined to protect the health of their firefighters, Mr. Tomislav began investigating the best solutions for washing protective suits.

Solution: A proven combination for fire departments

He discovered how the Zagreb and Koprivnica firefighters addressed the issue of washing suits and other laundry, and decided to reach out to Bright World.

Based on the advice of our expert team, they decided on a combination that perfectly meets the needs of fire departments.

One of the advantages of LG professional washing machines and dryers is that they can be stacked, allowing them to fit into spaces not originally intended for laundry devices.

"We decided to place them in the heated garage because that was the most practical approach for us, and they fit in perfectly," says Mr. Tomislav.

Results: A significant step forward

"Compared to washing at home, in household washing machines, the difference is huge," says Mr. Tomislav. "This is a great step forward!"

"With the LG Giant washing machine, we can easily wash three protective suits within an hour!"

Easy and quick access to laundry equipment is especially important for firefighters after exposure to burning sites during interventions.

"In such instances, the suits are washed immediately after the intervention. Firefighters help each other out: while some are out in the field, their colleagues at the firehouse wash and dry their suits. The devices are easy to use, so they quickly learned how to do it."

He also notes that when used with an ozone generator, the results are unparalleled.

"The BW ozone generator is the perfect solution for firefighters. It disinfects protective suits and eliminates the unpleasant smell of smoke!"

In conclusion, he has a message: "I recommend Bright World to all units because they have the perfect combination for us firefighters! The ratio of invested and received is excellent!"
