Humidity control and drying for fire stations, appliances and equipment

Condensation dehumidifiers are best suited for fire service equipment rooms and to dry clothing. They draw humid air over a refrigerated surface inside, collecting the condensation that forms and exhausting dry air back into the room.

Yes. Condensation is the primary cause of mould and mildew growth in fire stations, which occurs when humid air contacts cool surfaces. Keeping the humidity in these spaces at a safe, comfortable level reduces the risk of droplets forming on surfaces, minimising mould and mildew growth.

Yes. By reducing the risk of corrosion, rust and water damage, humidity control solutions can play a key role in extending the lifespan of many types of fire equipment. Whether this is drying hoses, fire trucks or PPE, humidity management can reduce the frequency of equipment repairs and replacements.

For optimal drying of fire service turnout gear, it is highly recommended to use dehumidification units. They are specially engineered to capture moisture from the atmosphere at pace, meaning your turnout gear can be efficiently dried before it is next required.

Dehumidifiers are more effective than emergency service heating solutions for this purpose. Although heaters can speed up drying times, they do not remove moisture, meaning this will return and condense when the temperature drops again. Dehumidifiers are also significantly more energy efficient.

Long-term moisture damage can cause metal components to rust, affecting the performance and structural integrity of fire trucks and other critical fire service equipment.

Excessive moisture damage can also cause:

• Significant electrical failures

• Mould and mildew growth

• Ruptures to fire hoses and water-handling equipment

• Issues with hydraulic systems

• Degradation of communication systems

• Paint and surface damage

If you want to ensure these problems never impact the reliability of your fire service equipment and operations, speak to our experts.

The ideal humidity level for fire service equipment rooms is typically between 40% and 50% relative humidity (RH). This range helps protect gear and equipment from moisture damage, while preventing the growth of mould and mildew.
