INDIANAPOLIS - Emergency Responders need Rehab to remain safe and healthy during an incident response. Sustaining a core body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) while working in challenging environments is essential to staying safe, healthy, and productive. The demanding conditions that responders face adds stress on the heart that can lead to heart damage or sudden death if proper precautions such as rest and hydration are not taken. All 37°C fire rehab products support the NFPA 1584 Rehab Standard to make it easier to maintain high activity levels while ensuring emergency responder safety.
The NFPA 1584 Rehab Standard requires fire departments to develop Standard Operating Procedures for the establishment of Rehab. 37°C fire rehab products support the standard with five rehab packages:
• Rehab Shelter Package: Shelter, chairs, and supplies for rest, recovery, and relief from the elements
• Core Cooling Package: Misting products, cooling chairs and towels, and t-shirts to keep you cool on the job
• Core Warming Package : Heater, blankets, and change-out clothing to help you warm up quickly when wet or cold
• Hygiene Package: Toilet system, privacy screens, and cleaning supplies to remove the grime of the job
• Complete Rehab Solution Package – All four rehab packages combined to form a comprehensive rehab solution
These packages make it easy to know which emergency incident rehabilitation products are needed for a rehab area. Products such as the Rehab Area Shelter, Core Cooling Towels, and Rehab Relaxation Chair are exclusive to DQE. Visit www.dqeready.com/37C for additional product information.
