SAM is an integrated total water flow control system that manages the truck’s pump, tank, intakes, and discharges. Traditional pump operations are totally transformed with all the pump controls in a 10-inch screen, allowing the operator to focus on the fireground and safety of the crew, not the side of the truck. The SAM system replaces a traditional pressure governor and takes care of opening and closing valves based on operator settings. www.samflows.com.

True North’s DECON™ LAUNDRY BAG protects firefighters from cancer-causing carcinogens left on dirty turnout gear.

True North’s DECON LAUNDRY BAG protects firefighters from cancer-causing carcinogens left on dirty turnout gear. With its airtight design and abrasion-resistant construction, this bag reliably traps soiled gear and prevents contaminants on PPE from migrating to the apparatus cabin until items can be safely laundered. The Decon can be washed and line-dried after each use because of its rugged 210 Denier-coated Nylon material and watertight welded seams. Our welded seams are bonded together as one, providing dependable, waterproof protection with the ability to handle up to two times more stress from use then sewn-and-taped seams. www.truenorthgear.com.
