Here, Mentor (OH) Fire Department Deputy Chief Robert Evans offers his testimonial on the effectiveness of Cres Guard:
Next, Wickliffe (OH) Fire Department Captain and Infection Control Officer J.P. Michalak offers his experiences with Cres Guard:
The regular exposure of our first responders and agency personnel to various hazards especially infectious diseases pose a risk of cross-contamination with a lack of a convenient, local, and safe method to decontaminate personal protective gear. Health risks due to chemical-based decontamination processes demonstrate a need for non-chemical, zero residual processes.
