The emergency scene “wash down” or “gross decon” protocol is intended to encapsulate and wash off cancer causing toxins encountered at a fire scene. Personnel exposed to these carcinogens shall participate in this process of “wash down” including water, Dawn dish soap, agitation with a brush, and finally rinsing off the contaminants with water.
This type of Emergency Scene “wash down” has been recommended by the CDC/NIOSH as the most reliable process to date. When performed thoroughly, this process can remove up to 80% of the contaminants before firefighters begin to remove and handle their gear. This can result in limiting the cross-contamination that occurs when removing and handling the turnout garments.
