From the firehouse to the fireground

Providing reliable, highly-secure connections – when and where you need them

In every emergency, seconds count. You battle through heat, with heavy equipment and in uncertain situations every day. And reliable communication is critical as you work to save lives and property.

Yet, firefighters and other first responders – the very people who need the best technology – often have not had access to it.

That’s why FirstNet is here.

FirstNet grew out of the devastating losses from the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The attacks exposed glaring weaknesses in our communications systems. Cell service was spotty. Countless emergency response teams could not communicate using their trusted radios. And many first responders lost their lives.

So, Congress established the First Responder Network Authority and charged it with building a nationwide high-speed wireless network for first responders like you. The First Responder Network Authority contracted AT&T to build and deliver this innovative ecosystem. FirstNet is your network. Now you have access to the technology you need to keep your community and yourself safe.

FirstNet is the only nationwide communications platform built with and for public safety.

It’s your network – designed to keep you and your team connected with the voice, text, and data services you need. So, you can focus on what’s important. Already, more than 18,500 agencies and organizations, accounting for 2.8 million connections, have signed on to FirstNet.

With FirstNet, you get:

• The only physically separate network core dedicated just for FirstNet users

• 24x7x365 priority and preemption for first responders

• FirstNet Band 14 spectrum – now live in over 700 markets 

• 2.71 million square miles of LTE coverage nationwide – with 100K square miles of LTE coverage added in 2020

• Prioritized access on all AT&T LTE bands.

• And there’s no throttling for FirstNet subscribers anywhere in the country

You put your life on the line every day to help others. And you deserve reliable and highly secure communication – from the firehouse to the fireground. We have your back.

Technology and Innovation

Emergency Responders look to Bullard to lead the industry with innovative personal protective equipment. The latest innovations from Bullard feature products designed to specifically meet the needs of Emergency Responders:

A Tough and Lightweight Helmet

The new USTTM-LW Fire Helmet from Bullard features an advanced fiberglass composite material which reduces helmet weight by up to 10oz, depending on the specific configuration. This reduction in weight has been achieved while maintaining the high standards of safety, toughness, and protection on which Bullard customers rely.

Bullard’s new Lightweight UST fire helmet offers firefighters a greater level of on-the-job comfort – while still giving them the high level of protection they need, and the traditional style they want.”

Compact Decision Making Thermal Imager; Incredible Value

Bullard recently introduced TXSTM, the most affordable decision-making thermal imager on the market, providing outstanding image quality in a compact and lightweight 1.6 pound form factor. The Bullard TXS Thermal Imager is the high deployment solution when budget, quality, and performance are essential.

“We designed TXS to be a thermal imager that is used on every call, getting more eyes on the fire, and more imagers in the hands of firefighters,” says Martijn Bosch, Bullard Thermal Imaging Product Manager. “By offering a clear and detailed image even in the toughest conditions, firefighters can make decisions based on the details and easy-to-understand temperature colorization TXS provides. It’s an indispensable tool for firefighters.”

Dräger Up Firefighter Health
& Safety on the Fire Ground

The rise of occupational cancer among Firefighters in recent years prompted several changes. Some behaviors — like letting soot and smoky grime stain turnout gear — have started to fade. This evolution of the Fire Service is just beginning as we learn how to best protect the men and women on the fire ground.

Part of this evolution must include providing today’s Command Staff and Incident Commanders with more information on what’s happening on the Fire Ground.

Dräger recognizes the complexities of today’s Fire Ground and the multitude of incidents that require Firefighters to step into areas of increased risk — both short- and long-term. Some dangers are immediate — fire, smoke, toxic gas, etc. Others cause a long-term harmful effect on First Responders — carcinogen particulates, chemicals, cardiovascular insult and damage, etc.

Several Dräger products — when used in combination with one another — provide an unequaled level of safety and protection:

• Reduce the introduction of particulates to the soft tissue in airways and on the face.
• Provides warning to operators and command of potentially deadly gas allowing for retreat or increased protection.
• Provide vital training in a controlled environment to prepare Firefighter for the multitude of circumstances that could occur.
• Assist Special Operations Teams while conducting high-risk, high-impact, low-frequency evolutions.
• Substantially improve the safety and health of Firefighters and other First Responders.

Dräger adapted a representative illustration of a Fire Ground. Every incident is unique and requires the expertise of experienced Incident Command to best determine how to establish the Zones along with the staging support services, rehab, decontamination, medical support, etc. Every Fire Ground is a dynamic environment. Zone boundaries can expand, contract, or adjust based on many circumstances. Among those adjustments, Command can enhance decisions with additional data including information from Dräger products.

When it comes to the products available from Dräger, the following would deployed widely on the Fire Ground:

• SCBA and related components
• Portable Gas Detection
• Other forms of Airway Protection

Beyond these product categories, Dräger offers some products that fit into certain applications, including the following:

• Fire Training
• Initial, On-Site Cleaning
• Overhaul and Investigation
• Special Operations

By no means are the products listed here comprehensive. As a part of Dräger in Fire Ground Zones, products are introduced where each would be most beneficial. The following is just a partial list of the solutions available from Dräger:

• The Dräger PSS 7000 SCBA provides exceptional ergonomic comfort for less stress. So many features make the PSS 7000 stand out including low cost of ownership, 15-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and batteries that last a year without replacement or recharging.
• Dräger offers a breadth of Live-Fire Training Systems to fit any budget. From a car prop system that can go anywhere to a multi-story, multi-fire Swede System Phase 5 that’s only limited by the training chief’s imagination, Dräger Live-Fire Training Systems always include a “train the trainers” course and curriculum.
• A diverse collection of portable gas detectors including the Dräger Pac 6000 CO, the X-am 5000, and the X-am 8000. Attach the Pac 6000 CO to every medical kit, turn it on and leave it on non-stop for two years. When your EMS team is responding to a sick person, if carbon monoxide is at an unsafe level, EMTs and Paramedics will know immediately. For Firefighters supporting the front-line workers, include an X-am 5000 on apparatus to check for levels of the Toxic Twins CO and HCN, known to reach dangerous levels outside the IDLH. The X-am 8000 detects up to seven gases and oxygen levels; it’s a versatile tool to determine the presence of toxic gases, LEL, some VOCs, and whether hazmat needs to be called.
• Dräger offers a wide range of air-purifying respirators including the X-plore 5500 and X-plore 1700. The X-plore 5500 provides 99.97% protection from particulates when using a P100 filter, protecting both airways and the eyes. The individually wrapped X-plore 1700 N95 disposable masks protect against 95% of fire ground particulates. Due to recent events, some quantities may be limited or inventory may be on backorder.

Dräger published a booklet about how our products might fit best to enhance the health and safety of First Responders on the Fire Ground.

Pierce Manufacturing:

Perform. Like No Other.

Performance

At Pierce Manufacturing, fire trucks are built to live up to the demands of firefighters and the communities they serve. Behind every highly customized, carefully-designed and engineered pumper, aerial, tanker and rescue unit is a team of professionals whose mission is to build a truck, exactly how it’s ordered. To Pierce, every step of the process is personal; from innovation and expertise, to customization and service.

As a single-source manufacturer with over one million square feet of state-of-the-art production space, there’s a reason you’ll find more than 27,000 Pierce trucks on the road today. Facilities are ISO-9001 certified, showing the company’s dedication to meet world-class standards for quality.

Proven Technology

Pierce is continually evolving to provide firefighters with industry-leading advancements and unmatched innovation. As a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, the experienced team has access to an arsenal of cutting-edge technologies and revolutionary processes that have contributed to the development of six custom chassis and best-in-class innovations.  

• Pierce Volterra™ Electric Pumper: Introduced in June 2021, the Volterra pumper is the first electric fire truck in service in North America. Designed around Oshkosh proprietary and patented technology, the electric fire truck consists of a patented parallel-electric drive train featuring an electro-mechanical infinitely variable transmission which allows zero-emissions operation when powered by the integrated onboard batteries, and can be coupled to the internal combustion engine to provide continuous and uninterrupted power to the pumping system or drive system.
• Ascendant® Class of Aerials: The Ascendant technology has expanded into six innovative products brilliantly engineered to equip firefighters with more aerial choices than ever before. Whether it be height or weight restrictions, compartment space, preference to ride rather than climb or rescue capabilities, the Ascendant technology provides flexibility and a wide range of options to meet departments’ needs.
• Command Zone™: Cutting edge electronic system that makes it easier for firefighters to maintain their vehicles, prepare for calls and monitor performance on the scene. It also delivers the industry’s first prognostic capabilities.
• Idle Reduction Technology: Incorporating high-performance lithium-ion batteries, main chassis engine auto-start, and full Command Zone™ integration, Pierce’s Idle Reduction Technology allows the apparatus to be on scene with zero air and noise pollution while maintaining mission-critical on-scene loads.
• Foam Systems: Pierce’s integrated foam systems help firefighters perform beyond the capabilities of water alone. Whether it’s Pierce’s innovative Husky™ foam system or the Hercules™ compressed air foam system, these systems are designed to improve the fire-extinguishing capabilities of water, enhance on-scene efficiencies and promote water use reduction.
• Pierce Ultimate Configuration (PUC™): An innovative apparatus solution designed to simplify firefighters’ actions and reduce unnecessary risk. The PUC eliminates the traditional pump house, is easier to operate, maximizes compartment space and simplifies service.
• TAK-4® Independent Suspension: Independent Front Suspension (IFS), stops faster, corners better, improves handling, offers better ride quality and is far more maneuverable than any straight-axle truck on the road. Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) operates like IFS but provides power to the wheels. With the ability to add TAK-٤ T٣, the ١٠٠٪ mechanical steering system further improves control and mobility.

Customer Support

Pierce’s dealer network is the strongest in the fire industry and is always there to listen to what’s needed, provide guidance and offer support. Fire departments count on the Pierce Service Brigade, a coast-to-coast network of more than 600 factory-trained technicians, to ensure the right service is done at the right time. It’s only fair. Firefighters pour everything they’ve got into fighting fires. The Pierce team pours everything they’ve got into making sure a fire truck is ready to perform.

Experience

With more than 100 years of manufacturing experience, Pierce’s unwavering commitment to quality is not just a promise. It’s ingrained into who they are. Employees, from the assembly team to the unmatched dealer network, are driven to serve firefighters. Why? Because many Pierce team members are firefighters themselves.

Community

Commitment to performance extends beyond Pierce’s factory walls and into the communities served. A significant part of the Pierce legacy involves giving back to the community and the fire industry through contributions and events like the annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event that takes place on the steps of Lambeau Field, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. All funds raised benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.

The Pierce team doesn’t think of building fire trucks as just another job. That’s evident every time you walk through a Pierce facility and have a conversation with the people who build these rigs. Visit Pierce before you settle on your next apparatus.

The ROLLNRACK Hose Management System

A hose related back injury led firefighter Javier Fernandez to design and patent a tool that would prevent back injuries for all firefighters. Since back injuries are the number one cause of early duty disability retirement across the US, his goal was to exceed NFPA safety standards throughout the process and eliminate the potential for injuries during hose management. This system prevents loading hose while riding precariously on top of moving apparatus. This dangerous and antiquated practice has led to injuries and deaths. “The goal was to improve a firefighter’s quality of life by working smarter, more efficiently and being as safe as possible. Heavy rolls of LDH are rocked into or out of the units and loaded onto stationary rigs with minimal firefighters. No one rides on moving apparatus to load hose, ever.” Fernandez states.

The RollNRack was introduced in 2003, an LDH drain attachment in 2004. In 2007, the Power Roller, the industry’s only battery-operated LDH roller was introduced. It drains & rolls a 100’ length of LDH in under thirty seconds! The System can handle up to 7 ¼” hose. Loading hose off any unit is accomplished with two or three firefighters. The Efficiency Package saves budget dollars and cuts scene time in half. This allows a department to respond to other calls. In 2011, the FASTBACK, a manual roller for hand lines was introduced. In 2012, the GO-Pack, a collapsing, stowable ‘Rack and LDH drainer were added. All components of the RollNRack System are innovative, patented and designed for durability and ease of use. RollNRack Tools are made of aluminum and stainless steel. The customizable system is portable and fully independent of the apparatus.

With shrinking budgets, higher workman’s comp insurance, an aging work force, the current shortages in the volunteer ranks and expanding coverage, the RollNRack system makes a difference. Videos show how they can help any department. “It’s the safest system on the market and has streamlined hose management for volunteer, career, industrial and military firefighters all over the world.” The RollNRack System is MADE IN THE USA and demonstrated at all shows attended.
