Firefighters face enough risks on the job — breathing toxic diesel fumes inside the station shouldn’t be one of them, which is why MagneGrip manufactures both source-capture exhaust removal and air purification systems

PRESS RELEASE

Firefighters face enough risks; breathing toxic fumes such as diesel exhaust inside the fire station shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why MagneGrip is the only company that manufactures both Source-Capture Exhaust Removal Systems and Air Purification Systems.

Source-capture exhaust systems remain the foundation of diesel exhaust control. Removing emissions directly at the tailpipe prevents contaminants from spreading through apparatus bays and migrating into shared living areas. These systems are proven, effective safeguards for firefighter health.

But today’s departments are going a step further. They are looking for measurable confirmation. At MagneGrip, we know effective station air management requires a layered approach.

Continuous air quality monitoring supplies real-time data as a preventive health strategy rather than a reactive one (Occupational Health & Safety, 2024). For fire stations, this translates to peace of mind — departments move from assuming the air is safe to knowing it is.

Complete Clean Air Solutions

The MagneGrip Air Quality Monitor system provides continuous environmental tracking through a customizable online dashboard, allowing departments to view air conditions clearly and respond when needed. Designed for straightforward installation and scalable deployment, the system can integrate into existing stations with minimal disruption. As facility needs evolve, monitoring capabilities can expand accordingly.

For protection at the source, MagneGrip’s source-capture systems remove diesel exhaust at the vehicle connection point before it disperses into the facility. AirHAWK air purification units further reduce residual airborne contaminants.

Together, these components form a complete clean air solution designed to support firefighter health and operational readiness.
