Honeywell Life Safety has launched WWW.EMERGENCY-COMMUNICATIONS-SYSTEMS.COM to provide up-to-date information on all aspects of Emergency Communications Systems, from its roots in military mass notification mandates to the latest solutions that meet communications, signaling, and intelligibility requirements for typical applications. Visitors can also tap into the Honeywell Fire Systems Group Services capabilities for design and applications services. www.emergency-communications-systems.com.
TruSouth Oil’s TRUFUEL, available in both 50:1 and 40:1 gas:oil ratios, have precise oil-to-gas blends that eliminate the need for mixing gas and oil in two-cycle engine equipment such as chain saws and other handheld power tools. Users can simply open the cans and pour the product into their equipment. Ethanol- and benzene-free, they protect the two-cycle engine from the corrosive nature of ethanol and ensure peak performance. Both products are precisely blended with an advanced synthetic lubricant at the exact ratios suggested by the major manufacturers of handheld power equipment. www.trusouthoil.com. (888) 253-8443.
International Fog Inc.’s (IFI’s) INDUSTRIAL CONTAINMENT SYSTEM™, now installed at the University of Nevada-Reno Fire Science Academy, is designed to help contain fires and explosions in chemical or industrial plants that manufacture, transfer, or ship LPG, JP4, and JP5 fuels or any other petroleum products. When installed at an industrial facility, the containment system will be connected with sensors that automatically turn on the containment system when heat or volatile gases are detected. The IFI Industrial Containment System™ will be installed in “hot spot” areas such as pump, transfer, and transmission stations. www.in-fog.com/index.php. (888) 524-4434.
In Motion Technologys ONBOARD MOBILE GATEWAY provides secure and upgradable mobile communications across a department’s fleet of fire, EMS, and command vehicles. The Gateway turns emergency vehicles into mobile wireless hot spots, allowing wired and wireless devices to connect seamlessly over any wireless network connection. It can be equipped with multiple wireless cards, allowing emergency communications to be transmitted over the best available—and most cost effective—wireless network. Network cards can be easily added or replaced to allow organizations to adapt to 4G network technologies. www.inmotiontechnology.com. (604) 523-2371.
Jalite’s PHOTOLUMINESCENT FLOOR WAY GUIDANCE SIGNS allow an escape route to still be seen when smoke obscures the normal lighting. A number of tragedies have led to the development of Jalite’s signs to identify escape routes. With these signs installed, escape can be made more efficient by the clear and concise message relayed by the signs in both normal and power-loss situations. These safety signs have been tested in accordance with ISO 9816 and standardized under ISO 7010. Energized by ambient light, this energy is stored and released, giving a powerful illumination in darkness. www.jalite.com.
Cole Hersee Company’s LED ROCKER SWITCH for trucking applications is a low-current input membrane switch compatible with microprocessor-based electrical/electronic systems. It offers high visibility and durability, no matter the time of day or weather condition. The LED Rocker Switch is unique—the wide, wrap-around green and yellow colored lenses are working parts of the actuator, rather than being separate components inserted into the actuator. This significantly increases the chance of seeing the illumination when viewed from an oblique angle, from a distance, or in the bright sunlight while decreasing accidental risks of on-site areas. www.colehersee.com.

Warn Industries’ OLYMPUS 25 DC-ELECTRIC WINCH offers near-hydraulic performance levels; its 25,000-pound pulling capacity exceeds any other electric winch available. Designed for extreme rescue situations and vehicle recovery, the WARN Olympus 25 uses a state-of-the-art 24V Axial Flux Permanent Magnet motor to achieve its 12½ tons of pulling power. The Olympus 25 also has a duty cycle that nears hydraulic winch performance levels but without all of the plumbing, maintenance, or mess of a hydraulic unit. It has two-thirds of the amp draw of existing DC-electric winches. Originally crafted for demanding severe-duty environments, the Olympus 25 is available with a 12-volt system adapter kit to make it fire engine ready. www.warn.com. (503) 722-3027.
The FoxFury NOMAD is a 3,600-lumen dual-action LED area light and spotlight. At 17 pounds and 33 inches, it can be carried through the worst terrains imaginable and still be deployed in 20 seconds including leveling. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides three to nine hours of light. The Nomad offers three intensities and converts from an area light to spotlight by quickly detaching its diffuser lens. The Nomad can telescope up to eight feet tall and can be used in carry mode or as a backpack light. www.foxfury.com. (760) 945-4231.
