Why We Come Home Clean

Every shift starts with a tone-out.
It might be a fire, a wreck, a medical call, or something worse. We go in fast, geared up, ready to do what most people never will.

And when it’s over — after the hose is rolled, the report is written, the adrenaline fades — we head home.

But we don’t just bring back stories.
We bring back what we breathed in.

The Hidden Threat No One Talks About

You can’t see it, but it’s there.

  • Benzene from burning plastic

  • Formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, diesel exhaust

  • Heavy metals and flame retardants soaked into your gear

  • Carbon-based particles lodged deep in your lungs

Even after you shower, even after you scrub the soot from your arms — those toxins are still inside you. They travel through your bloodstream. They stress your organs.
And over time, they build up.

That’s why cancer is now the #1 killer of firefighters.
That’s why “healthy on the outside” doesn’t mean safe.

Our Mission: Internal Decon for the Ones Who Show Up

At 3rd Alarm Nutrition, we believe that decontamination doesn’t stop at the bay door.
Your body needs help fighting back against what it’s been exposed to. That’s why we created a formula that does what your shower can’t:

  • Flush out heavy metals and smoke byproducts

  • Boost your body’s natural detox enzymes

  • Protect your liver, lungs, and immune system

  • Rebuild what the job breaks down

We use 9 clinically backed nutrients — delivered through liposomal technology — to actually get inside your cells and do the work.

Because “clean” isn’t just about appearance.
It’s about long-term protection.

Why We Come Home Clean

We come home clean because we’re proactive.
Because we take the job seriously — but we also take our health seriously.
Because we’ve seen what exposure does to the best of us — and we refuse to accept that as our future.

We come home clean so we can:

  • Show up again tomorrow

  • Play with our kids without pain

  • Run toward danger without wondering what it’s doing to us inside

  • Retire strong — not sick

Final Word

You wouldn't skip your SCBA.
You wouldn't throw on dirty turnouts and run into a fire.
So don’t run your body without protection either.

This job will always be dangerous.
But your health doesn’t have to be sacrificed.

Come home clean. Stay in the fight. Protect your future.

That’s what we’re here for.
