Episode 180: Cleanse the Risk: Harnessing Nature to Combat Firefighter Carcinogens with Dee Howard

Is your shower soap good enough?

Hello Smart Firefighting Community!

Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!

Thanks for joining our 10 part FRI Mini Series recorded at the ⁠⁠⁠Fire-Rescue International (FRI)⁠⁠⁠ conference which was hosted by the ⁠⁠⁠International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC)⁠⁠⁠. Each summer, thousands of the most prominent fire and emergency service leaders from around the globe come to FRI. This year, we headed to Kansas City, Missouri at the Kansas City Convention Center, August 16 - 18, 2023 to learn, network, and collaborate together!

In this episode:

• Showers within the hour is great, but not when the soap doesn’t work!
• Why standard soap does not work with carcinogen and smell removal
• Integrating charcoal and science based tactics to support carcinogen removal

Get the inside scoop from Dee Howard - the co-founder and Chairperson of SOOTSOAP Supply Co.

SOOTSOAP is an all natural, industrial-strength line of detoxifying, deodorizing and sanitizing products lab-developed for the toughest jobs.

Designed for firefighters and proven to eliminate more toxins, SOOTSOAP harnesses the power of Binchotan White Charcoal and other natural powerhouse ingredients to draw out harmful chemicals, pollutants and impurities to provide the deepest clean for those exposed to contaminants.

SOOTSOAP is all natural, 100% biodegradable, firefamily owned and operated and proudly made in Canada. A portion of proceeds go to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network to assist firefighters dealing with cancer.
