Fire coat after removing Tar & Oil

Fire coat covered in Tar & Oil

Recently we received a set of fire gear that was coated in a thick tar-like, crude oil residue.  It stunk, it was sticky, and it needed serious ensemble cleaning.  With some time, effort, patience, and the right combination of elbow grease and cleaning agents, we were able to get the fire gear elements in shape to return to service.

In the recent months, we have received many inquiries from fire departments about turnout gear maintenance.  It has been great to hear that so many are really focusing on the safety of their firefighters.  One question we have heard repeatedly from both new and old customers is “Where are you located?”.  Yes, we have moved and yes our new facility helps us to maintain the growing needs of our customers. 

Shamrock Gear & Repair LLC has moved to 9522 Main Ave. SE in East Sparta.  The 2 story 3000 square foot building allows us to keep “dirty gear” completely separate from “clean gear”.    ”The Flow” of our specialized cleaning and repair process has been a great fit in this building, and has made Shamrock Gear the most efficient ISP in Ohio. 

Please feel free to stop by and take a brief tour of YOUR Fire Firefighter Ensemble Maintenance Facility.  We are here to keep you safe!
