Fire DepartmentsWe provide the following solutions for the environmental needs of Fire Departments:

Do it Right with Training Fires

  • If you are preparing a building for a training fire and do not know your State of Iowa and Federal regulations let our knowledgeable staff inform you about these regulations. The fines could exceed your initial asbestos inspection consultation.
  • Thoroughly completing the chain of custody form will insure a detailed lab report. Your lab report will accompany your notification to the Iowa DNR. Each sample, approximately the size of a quarter, must be sealed in a properly labeled plastic baggy to prevent cross contamination.
  • Important Reminder: The building owner may be subject to fines issued by the State of Iowa and/or Federal government
