Diesel fumes can travel throughout the station long after apparatus operations end. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies diesel engine exhaust as a Group 1 carcinogen linked to lung cancer, with positive associations to bladder cancer.

To help reduce exposure risks, Holland Fire Department Station No. 1 installed seven (7) SFTMPRO exhaust removal systems designed to capture diesel exhaust directly at the source.

Does station design affect more than workflow?

Clear priorities matter when applying for AFG funding. Applications that clearly outline health and safety needs—and show how proposed projects align with AFG priorities—are easier to evaluate and stronger overall.

This tip is part of a larger AFG planning guide created to help departments prepare with confidence. Download the full guide through the link in our bio for more detailed support.

The FY 2026 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is now open with approximately $291.6 million available for fire departments and EMS organizations nationwide.

If your department is planning to apply by the June 22 deadline, now is the time to start preparing. We make protection possible by offering NO-COST grant assistance for the upcoming AFG application period:

MagneGrip’s AirHAWK Air Purification Systems circulate and filter indoor air using a four-stage filtration process designed to capture particulates, toxic gases, and airborne pathogens. UV technology helps address microorganisms before purified air is distributed throughout the facility.

See how AirHAWK systems work to improve air conditions inside the station.

Firefighter health risks go beyond what’s inherited—the station environment matters.

We’re honored that B-105 Cincinnati featured us on The Big Dave Show on B-105

We’re proud to be recognized and to continue supporting fire departments with clean air solutions that help protect firefighter health inside the station.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support MagneGrip and the work we do for the fire service.

Firefighters spend long shifts inside the station between emergency responses. During that time, airborne particles introduced during apparatus operations can remain present in apparatus bays and shared spaces.

Recent research by NCBI - National Center for Biotechnology Information examining European firefighters found that non-genetic factors common in the job, such as air pollution, heat stress, physical and mental strain, and circadian disruption, have a stronger influence on immune and inflammatory responses than hereditary factors.

MagneGrip will be attending FDIC International in Indianapolis — visit us at Booth #5266.

FDIC brings together firefighters, officers, and industry partners to share knowledge and advance best practices across the fire service. It’s also an important opportunity to talk about firefighter health, station safety, and Complete Clean Air solutions.

See how MagneGrip’s Source-Capture Exhaust Removal Systems, AirHAWK Air Purification Systems, and Air Quality Monitor provide Complete Clean Air Solutions.

We look forward to connecting with you in Indianapolis.
