Mustang Survival Showcases Innovative Water Rescue Solutions at FDIC 2012

Mustang Survival will be showcasing its latest solutions for water rescue professionals, including two brand new water rescue dry suits, at the 2012 Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Indiana from April 16 – 21. Mustang Survival will also be demonstrating its Water Rescue Kit with the award winning Rescue Stick as part of Grainger Industrial Supply’s series of onsite demonstrations.

The MSD624 and MSD576 water rescue dry suits are designed to improve the performance, durability and fit of current dry suits. The MSD624, part of Mustang Survival’s innovative Sentinel series, is the ideal personal issue suit designed using Mustang’s exclusive Mobility Based Sizing, the market’s most comprehensive sizing system that offers a near custom fit with improved range of motion.

The MSD576, based on the success of the MSD575 WR, is the next generation suit ideal for cache equipment situations where water rescue crews are required to share the same suit. Aside from improved sizing that reduces cumbersome bulk, new features focus on increased durability and mobility.

Both the MSD624 and MSD576 use Mustang’s new Rapid Repair Technology, an innovative repair methodology that enables users to self-repair minor leaks and self-replace neck and wrist seals to have their dry suits ready again for use in less than an hour.

“We are excited to introduce these two new dry suits to water rescue professionals at FDIC,” comments Dave Abt, Business Development for Mustang Survival, “This is the perfect venue for providing the latest water rescue solutions to professionals who rely on lifesaving equipment day in and day out. Our water rescue solutions include the most innovative and practical equipment for improved efficiency, fit and durability; all essential factors critical for successful rescues and the rescue crew’s safe return.”

Mustang Survival will also be demonstrating its Water Rescue Kit with the award-winning Rescue Stick in Grainger’s booth #1341. Mustang’s Water Rescue Kit provides first responders with everything they need to protect themselves while stabilizing and retrieving victims in the water. The demonstrations will take place on Friday, April 20, at 4:00 pm and Saturday, April 21, at 12:00 noon.
