For 3 seasons now, the Tacoma FD TV show has been using Plymovent vehicle exhaust extraction systems on their set and is happy to share their great experiences in a newly produced Public Service Announcement (PSA).
Protecting firefighters from hazardous exhaust fumes in their stations is something that Plymovent has done for over 45 years. As a global leader in Fire and Emergency Services vehicle exhaust extraction solutions, it is something that as a company we take seriously – protecting those who protect us. So when it came to protecting the actors who play firefighters and the other cast members of the well-known Tacoma FD TV, it was no different!
Featuring two star cast members of the show, in a light-hearted fashion they discuss the importance of a Plymovent exhaust extraction system and of course the hashtag, "Hook Up the Hose.”
Check out the soon-to-be-released season 3 of Tacoma FD featuring brief cameos of Plymovent’s yellow and black exhaust extraction systems!

Last year, leading US firefighter advocate Billy Goldfeder wrote an article on the importance of having compatible systems among fire departments with automatic or mutual aid agreements:
Removing turnout gear immediately after fighting a fire can greatly reduce skin absorption of cancer-causing compounds, according to a study from the University of Ottawa.
Two NIOSH Health Hazard Reports (HHEs) recommend that fire stations are equipped with diesel exhaust extraction systems, and to encourage regular use, even when firefighters are conducting routine running of the apparatus during equipment checks.
