DARLEY'S PURIFIRE WATER-PURIFICATION SYSTEM

The PuriFire 3S3S is a patent-pending, three-stage water-purification system integrated into a Darley Fast Attack firefighting skid unit. The stainless-steel filter and UV housings are strong enough to handle pressure two times higher than normal water purifiers do. Its advanced particulate filtration system is composed of a self-cleaning strainer filter, two Ploydepth filters and a carbonblock filter. Together they can effectively reduce the sediment level down to 0.5 micron and remove bad taste/odor. Lastly, the high-intensity UV device will effectively remove microbiological contamination such as bacteria, cysts, and virus when operated properly. Key components of this unit are NSF/UL certified, which guarantees the best purification ability and safety for operation.

FOAMPRO'S ACCUMAX FOAM PROPORTIONER

Take Your Mobile Attack to the Max. The FoamPro AccuMax is the ultimate high-flow foam proportioning system. This state-of-the-art proportioning package delivers industrial strength firefighting power with unmatched performance and accuracy.

A simple push of the master control "on" button activates the system's electronics and engages the hydraulically-driven concentrate pump. Each individual outlet allows the operator to choose between plain water or solution. If foam is required, proportioning rates can be adjusted with each outlet control module. Full fire pump performance is achieved because the system has no venturi or ratio-type restrictions. Older manually-operated proportioners, such as jet ratio controllers, require: extensive setup with multiple suction hoses, more foam concentrate and logistical management, flow/pressure calculations by operator and placement in specific locations. They also utilize flow restricting foam eduction methods.

With time your worst enemy and safety top priority, AccuMax industrial proportioners revolutionize big foam attacks with unparalleled operational efficiency.

LIFEGUARD TECHNOLOGIES' SMARTDOCK

When called to action, firefighters need to move quickly, so speed and efficiency are critical in transit.

LifeGuard SmartDock Gen 2 is the only hands-free SCBA holder for fire apparatus. This innovative system provides single-motion insertion of the SCBA, holds the cylinder securely in place while in transit and releases using no straps or levers.

Current SCBA holders require firefighters to operate release levers and cumbersome straps that can become entangled with seat belts and firefighting gear. SmartDock is a strap-free docking station that offers single-motion SCBA insertion and hands-free release when the firefighter stands up to exit the seat. In the event of a collision, the top claws lock from inertial forces for a secure hold, preventing the cylinder from becoming a projectile.

SmartDock is engineered so one model fits more than 85% of SCBAs used in today's U.S. fire departments. With its low profile, SmartDock can retrofit to a wide variety of SCBA seats.

SmartDock Gen 2 is currently available for retrofit on any brand of truck through Pierce dealers.

ROSENBAUER'S NEW EZ LOAD HOSEBED

Rosenbauer's EZ Load Hosebed is a modular unit that can be lowered hydraulically to the side of the truck for easy loading of hose, yet still allows the apparatus to be driven while the hosebed is in the lowered position. This new design allows for approximately 50 cubic feet and 2,000 pounds of capacity and enables the firefighter to load hose from below shoulder height which is much safer for the individual. Auto leveling technology helps keep the hosebed level at all times and it is equipped with flashing warning lights, both on the outside of the hosebed and in the cab to indicate when the hosebed is out of the stowed position. An interlock is also provided so that the hosebed cannot be lowered without the aerial ladder and outriggers in their stowed positions. The EZ Load Hosebed from Rosenbauer is the lowest powered hosebed on NFPA-compliant aerial fire apparatus.

SUMMIT FIRE'S PRODUCT LINE

Summit Fire Apparatus persistently addresses the needs of the fire industry. First responders wanted pre-connected tools, trash-line and winch closer to the scene. Summit enhanced their Front Bumper Extension. The cascade system in Summit's Air Truck prevents tanks from equalizing; the sequencer automatically selects the lowest pressure cylinder first. Summit's Industrial Foam Pumper pump and foam component configuration had never been accomplished before.

Need more space than a traditional heavy rescue? Summit is building a 22-inch custom trailer with 14 rescue-style compartments, side awnings, ramp for wheeled equipment, roof-top storage, light tower, lighted walkway between the compartments from the front to the rear observation platform. Inside is an enclosed science and research room with pass through, work counter and wall cabinets.

"In 50 years we have ascertained one thing for certain — customers want what they want," President Joe Messmer said. "We build their ideas into safe, well-equipped units."

WATEROUS' ENDURANCE FIRE PUMP

The Waterous Endurance CXS Series fire pump is designed with an innovative "ram-horn" style intake fitting. This modification allows the CXS to provide up 1,250 gpm at 150 psi when using one intake or 1,500 gpm at 150 psi when using both intakes. In other words, the CXS puts more water, with more force, where you need it most — directly into the heart of the threat. Not only did we make it easier for OEM installation, the CXS compact design allows for more cabin space for additional equipment.
