Hunter Apparel Solutions Limited (Hunter) was honored to host Station Officer Adam Stone of the London Fire Brigade at their state-of-the-art LCO2 care and maintenance facility. During his visit, Station Officer Stone explored the revolutionary potential of the proprietary LCO2+ decontamination technology — a solution in protecting firefighters from occupational diseases.
