Cranbury, NJ—Prior to Plymovent, the White Springs (NY) Fire Department installed another manufacturer’s exhaust removal system. Because a variety of issues with the system, White Springs FD upgraded its exhaust removal system to Plymovent in less than one year.
One major issue White Springs FD firefighters encountered before switching to Plymovent was having difficulty in disconnecting the system from the vehicle’s tailpipe. The system repeatedly pulled off the elbow, emitting toxic diesel exhaust fumes back into the facility. According to Assistant Fire Chief Jeffrey McGuigan, firefighters also complained about having to bend over to hook up the nozzle to the tailpipe and out of frustration would stop using the system.
Air Cleaning Systems of NY (ACS), the authorized Plymovent distributor for this area, visited White Springs, presented the Plymovent code-compliant vehicle exhaust removal systems, and retrofitted the station with Plymovent. The results have been spectacular and the personnel at White Springs FD have been extremely pleased with the Plymovent product and its ease of use. “There’s no need to bend over and hook up the system, which is how it should be, safe and simple”, says McGuigan.
With 25 to 30 members, the White Springs Fire Department is an all-volunteer department. Out of the three fire departments in town, White Springs has the highest call volume, covering commercial and residential neighborhoods. Since installing Plymovent vehicle exhaust removal systems, benefits include but are not limited to: a healthier work environment by minimizing the exposure to hazardous diesel exhaust and gasses from old and new vehicles; a cleaner work environment; excellent customer service; and the convenience of the easy-to-use “Click and Seal” system connection.
