PSA: You scrub before we mend. Behind every pack repair is a hardworking and dedicated group of MYSTERY RANCHERS who are proud to repair your gear. But we need your help to keep them safe at work. As Wildland Firefighters, you and your gear are regularly exposed to a complex suite of hazardous chemicals including smoke, soot, and carcinogen byproducts of combustion. PPE that is held in storage at room temperature can maintain levels of semivolatile compounds for a long time. Exposure to off-gassing of these compounds from your gear can persist long after an incident. To better protect yourself and all the fine people here at MYSTERY RANCH, we ask you to please clean your gear before sending it in for repair. Learn more from the link in bio. Thank you for all that you do. _ 📷: nathannorby #mysteryranch #builtforthemission #mysteryranchmission
