Southwest PPE is fully verified to clean, inspect, repair and reconstruct bunker and turn-out gear in accordance with NFPA 1851 guidelines. We work closely with manufacturers of nomex, kevlar and fire-retardant clothing to ensure that we are able to restore this important equipment to its full integrity.

The NFPA 1851 guidelines were established in 2008 in response to important safety, health and gear longevity concerns. We believe these guidelines are both sound and vitally important. But we understand that, as important as these guidelines are, they can require expertise and resources that are often in short supply.

We can help. We are committed to helping you understand, implement and maintain an effective NFPA 1851 program. We specialize in advanced cleaning, repair and testing of PPE. We can also help you implement your own training, record keeping, and basic inspection and repair programs. We are the distributors for some of the best and most environmentally friendly cleaning products available.

Please take the time to browse our website for further information on an equipment inspection, cleaning and repair program and learn how it can benefit your organization. Then, please give us a call and give us an opportunity to prove ourselves.
