The new fire station of Mäntyharju in Finland is a dream come true for Executive Fire Officer Jukka Järvinen and dozens of contracted fire brigade members. Safety was a key starting point for the station’s design. Sarlin supplied the station with a safety cabinet for filling compressed air bottles as well as a breathing air compressor.
One essential starting point for the new fire station’s design was to increase occupational safety. The filling of compressed air bottles was therefore also considered during purchasing. Firefighters use compressed-air breathing apparatuses for smoke diving and hazardous materials (chemical) diving during fires and accidents. Mäntyharju station also has underwater rescue specialists.
