Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue has acquired new personal protective equipment when transporting patients during the coronavirus pandemic. Assistant Chief of EMS Todd Janquardt says the department has purchased twelve 3M TR 300 Powered Air Purifying (PAR) respirators with CARES Act funding. Janquardt says the device is a powered respirator. Janquardt says the device draws air through a filter, mounted on a belt. The respirator includes a hood with a face shield, that seals around the head and face providing additional protection.
