Mustang Survival Features Rescue Solutions and New Inspection and Maintenance Program at FDIC 2011

Mustang Survival will be showcasing the latest solutions for the firefighters at the 2011 Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Indiana from March 24-26. Aside from showcasing their complete line of water and ice rescue solutions, they will also be introducing their new Inspection and Maintenance Program to the professionals whose lives depend on well-maintained and properly repaired products for optimal performance and safety.

The National Weather Service is forecasting a higher than average level of spring flooding due to record snowfalls this winter.

Featured solutions include water and ice rescue suits, foam and inflatable flotation vests, compact water rescue kits, and customized solutions.

Mustang Survival’s New Inspection and Maintenance Program is a new part of their complete solutions for professionals.

The program will make it easy for professional users to have their equipment regularly inspected, maintained and repaired by Mustang Certified partners in a convenient and timely manner.
