Stressing, in particular that none of our dirty work clothing should worn home in our cars and then put through the wash with our families clothing.
Busby firefighters then explained how the new fire station was designed and built with firefighter health and safety at the forefront. It has a three tier system of, red - dirty area, orange - transition area and green - clean area.
