Air Vacuum Corporation AIRVAC® 911 is a hose-free, ceiling-hung system that was deliberately designed to not require any ducting or outside exhausting, making it easy to add to existing stations, incorporate in renovations, and build into new station designs. The AIRVAC® 911 system is made in the U.S.A. and has a sophisticated four-stage air filtration process that includes a MERV-16 rated filter for removing contaminant particles as small as 0.3 microns. Every time a vehicle enters or leaves, the AIRVAC® 911 system automatically activates so that first responders can feel confident that they are breathing clean air. Air Vacuum Corporation was established to help protect first responders by reducing their exposure to hazardous gases and particulate. Now, 30 years later, the team continues this proud tradition that began when the first AIRVAC® 911 Engine Exhaust System was installed in 1994.

MSA Cairns® 1836 Fire Helmet is one of the lightest weight traditional-style fire helmets available that meets National Fire Protection Association standards. It features a reduced ride height, enhancing comfort, fit, and balance for the wearer. The helmet includes a patent-pending slide-lock system, which eliminates the need for any special tools to disassemble the helmet, ultimately enabling quicker and easier maintenance. Coupled with the slide-lock system, the Cairns 1836 also features removable soft goods, making the ear covering, interior liner, and ratchet pad easier to clean. The helmet is adaptable to a wide range of head sizes. Each helmet comes with embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, making it easier to track and manage the helmets through MSA FireGrid™ Inventory Management software.

Hendrickson’s HLC™ SERIES 1 AIR KITS are designed as a drop-in replacement for the previous generation HAC Series and supports ease of installation. Customers have a choice of two different configurations: HLC-SSI for self-steerable applications and HLC-NSI for nonsteerable applications. The HLC-SSI is equipped with an electric-actuated toggle switch and has the “lift on reverse” feature. The HLC-NSI is designed with a manual push-pull operation and is suited for applications that do not need to lift when in reverse. Both kits have been environmentally tested in extreme conditions and, like many Hendrickson products, are built to perform under demanding applications.
