Project Descriptions
(NEW) Fire and Rescue Second Set of Turnout Gear
Fire & Rescue
• Firefighters are exposed to carcinogens when fighting fires . A typical home or business contains
an unknown number of plastics and other materials that release harmful and toxic substances
when burned . When firefighters respond to a fire scene, their gear absorbs the harmful toxic
substances . Crews return to the station, then later in the same shift, the same firefighters may
respond to a second fire call and must wear the same dirty gear . The risk of re-contamination is
real and unavoidable . An available set of second clean turnout gear resolves these issues and
provides a higher level of protection.

taken out of service at the end of their service life of 15 years from the manufacturer's date .
The current SCBA equipment's I 5-year warranty will expire in 2032 . A complete SCBA
purchase will be important because of cost of repair, age of SCBA, and mandatory bottle
replacement. Roanoke County purchased the current SCBA in 2017 and placed it in service in
2018.
• Funding of $2 .5 million is planned for FY 2031 .
