Hillsborough County Fire Rescue is installing 63 of them in fire trucks, ambulances, ladder trucks and other vehicles. They're designed with advanced photo-hydro-ionization and UV technology.

Not only a challenge to go on the emergency calls we're going on right now, but being challenged responding during a pandemic. And it helps keep my staffing levels up and keeps my folks safe to respond to every kind of emergency with family members and citizens of the community," says Deputy Chief Jason Dougherty with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
