Rescue Intellitech launches Solo Rescue Plus

Rescue Intellitech has revealed the launch of the Solo Rescue Plus at Interschutz 2026 in Hannover.

According to the company, the new machine succeeds the widely deployed Solo Rescue in PPE decontamination for fire and rescue services.

Building on the Solo Rescue, the new system is designed to make systematic, compliant post-incident decontamination the operational standard, directly addressing the occupational health crisis of firefighter cancer.

Exposure control

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, the WHO’s cancer research body, classifies firefighting as a Group 1 carcinogen, with contamination routinely travelling from the fireground to stations, vehicles and homes.

Solo Rescue Plus offers purpose-built exposure control, making thorough decontamination fast, consistent and achievable after each incident, Rescue Intellitech added.

“More efficient than our current ones”

Phill Hall of RSNV Fire Academy, Sweden, a Solo Rescue user since 2013 stated: “The new machine is more efficient than our current ones.

“Most gear gets clean after only six minutes and for the really dirty ones a 12-minute programme gives excellent results.

“We’ve also seen significantly lower detergent consumption, maybe 40-50% less, which could save us around 200,000 to 250,000 SEK per year,” he added.

Solo Rescue Plus

Rescue Intellitech explained that the Solo Rescue Plus incorporates re-engineered spray nozzles operating from the sides, upper and lower positions, providing improved coverage across all PPE types.

The rotating basket works in combination with the nozzles to ensure full coverage with no blind spots, while a programme option to disable the lower spray helps prevent water ingress when washing boots.

A fresh water function allows services to replace water after every cycle, meeting the strictest decontamination protocols.

The company added that efficiency is further enhanced by a reduced wash tank volume, resulting in lower detergent and water usage, decreased running costs and shorter fill and heat-up times.

Four integrated dosing pumps let services tailor cleaning product dosage to their specific protocols, whether using separate cleaning agents, defoamer, disinfectant or any combination required by their workflow.

“Operationally achievable after every incident”

Nick Croad, Area Sales Manager, UK and Ireland, Rescue Intellitech commented: “We believe clean gear should be the standard, not the exception.

“Solo Rescue Plus is built on direct feedback from fire services and exists to make compliant decontamination operationally achievable, after every incident, not just when time allows,” he concluded.

Availability

According to the company, Solo Rescue Plus is expected to be available in the UK from autumn 2026.

It carries a 24-month parts and labour warranty.
