Gear Wash Expands in Southern California

A new location in Santa Fe Springs, CA, has opened, according to Gear Wash. As the largest and fastest-growing ISP in the fire services sector, this is the company's second presence in Golden State and its 14th facility countrywide.

California is legally required to follow National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) cleaning and repair standards, and Gear Wash is prepared to satisfy the growing demands of fire departments in the Santa Fe Springs area. Complete NFPA-compliant personal protective equipment (PPE) care, including sophisticated cleaning, inspection, repair, and modification services, is provided at the new location.

“Thanks to strong partnerships with major departments like LA County and San Francisco, we’ve seen firsthand the growing need for reliable, compliant PPE care throughout California,” says Taylor Burke Gilman, President of Gear Wash. “This expansion helps us be closer to the people we serve. It means tighter pickup routes, faster turnarounds and the capacity to serve everyone—from the largest departments to volunteer agencies.”

A group of skilled and certified experts at Gear Wash provide a comprehensive range of gear care and maintenance. Additionally, the business offers short-term equipment rentals, enabling departments to run smoothly while their equipment is being serviced.

“What makes Gear Wash different is that we’re tied directly to the people who build modern turnout gear,” adds Gilman. “Our connection to Fire-Dex keeps us close to the design and performance intent behind the gear, so we can identify issues faster and make smarter repairs. We see and service more gear than anyone, from every manufacturer regardless of the label, so we know what ‘normal’ wear looks like versus early warning signs that something more serious is wrong.”
