Occupational cancer is a leading threat to firefighters, largely driven by exposure to Group 1 carcinogens found in diesel exhaust. The Ward Diesel NO SMOKE system is an apparatus-mounted, direct-source filter that automatically traps harmful soot and gases both inside the station and while idling on an emergency scene.

FEMA considers Vehicle Mounted Exhaust Systems a high priority for AFG funding. With the grant window now open, Ward Diesel and Lexipol are offering a free grant review service to help you craft a strong narrative, ensure proper vendor quotes, and catch omissions before you submit.

Closing Monday, June 22 at 5 p.m. ET.

As Spring nears, it’s the perfect time to evaluate your fire station’s exhaust systems. Older systems allow harmful fumes to circulate, even during routine operations. NO SMOKE technology removes exhaust at the source, ensuring cleaner air and safer conditions for firefighter safety.

Every breath matters. Diesel exhaust contains harmful particulates that can have long-term health effects. Ward Diesel’s NO SMOKE system reduces exhaust before it reaches your firefighters, helping prevent occupational illnesses and protecting the lives of those who protect us.
