FAST Rescue Solutions, providers of solutions that meet the constantly evolving challenges encountered by firefighters and first responders, is expanding its presence in the southeastern United States through a new distribution partnership with Ten-8 Fire and Safety, the premier fire-rescue apparatus and firefighting equipment dealer in Florida and Georgia.
Under the partnership, Ten-8 will carry FAST Rescue Solutions’ flagship product, the FAST Board. Originally designed for rapid intervention in firefighter rescue, this system also excels in the fields of confined space, hazardous materials, active shooter response, and all other areas of patient packaging, extrication, and transport. The FAST Rescue Board, created by firefighters for firefighters, is the ultimate rescue platform designed for maximum versatility and ease of use.
“As the region’s premier provider to the fire and EMS industry, we represent only the best brands out there,” said Cindy Morgan, vice president of equipment and rescue sales for Ten-8. “When our team saw the FAST Board and its benefits for rescue and rapid intervention scenarios, they were very excited. We look forward to making this unique product available to the fire and safety community in Florida and Georgia.”
Configured with industry-standard webbing and hardware, the rapid packaging features of the FAST Board can have a patient packaged and moving in seconds. It comes equipped with Kevlar® lashing, rescue-rated hardware, horizontal bridle bags and straps, ARS multi-haul line bag with 75-foot loop drag strap, AWOGS decal package, and an Escape Tech haul line. The 45-degree
front undercut allows the board to lift over obstacles even if the nose of the board gets pushed under an obstacle.
“We’ve had a lot of interest in our FAST Board in the southeast,” said Sam Cohen, co-founder and CEO of FAST Rescue Solutions, “and with Ten-8’s reputation for professionalism and integrity, we’re proud to have them as our distribution partner in that region.”
