Continental Girbau’s EXPRESSWASH® WASHERS and EXPRESSDRY® GEAR DRYERS properly clean protective gear according to gear manufacturer and NFPA guidelines. Operators simply select a program number, press start, and the washer automatically blends optimum water temperatures, water levels, chemicals, extraction speeds, and cycle times.

ExpressWash Washers are freestanding and can be installed in truck bays, utility rooms, overheated floors, or anywhere there is extra space. They properly clean gear and, in doing so, help protect firefighters from the carcinogens and biohazards found in dirty gear. ExpressDry Gear Dryers use a 110-volt fan to push nonheated air through hanging garments, returning gear to service in hours rather than days. www.continentalgirbau.com. (800) 256-1073.

Hannay Reels’ F1500 SERIES is ideal for fire and rescue operations. It is available in manual or power rewind for long-length utility and breathing air hoses. The lightweight, compact reels are designed especially for the fire and rescue industry with a chain and sprocket drive powered by an electric or compressed air motor on power rewind models.

Manual rewind models include a cam-lock drag brake and spring actuated pin lock. F1500 reels are made with internal stainless-steel construction for compatibility with breathing air applications. www.hannay.com. (877) 467-3357.

Coxreels®’s OVERSIZED ROLLERS for manual and motorized hose reels keep the hose entering the reel protected during unwind and rewind. Guide rollers prevent the hose from jumping over the disk of the reel and are very beneficial when hose is deployed to a direction other than directly forward of the reel.

Coxreels’ newest oversized rollers are ideal for the most rugged applications requiring a more robust roller, as the oversized 1½-inch rollers can withstand larger impacts and loading. The oversized rollers are also especially useful on wider drum reels where the rollers span a larger distance. The oversized roller accessory is available in open and closed configurations. www.coxreels.com. (800) 269-7335.

TradLabs’s FROST AXE (First Responder On Scene Tools) combines seven of the most common firefighting tools in use today. Its unique design supports attacking a hydrant, hose and coupling work, forcible entry, vertical and horizontal ventilation, and self-rescue, all with a single tool.

Rapid-prototyping and direct feedback helped shape the FROST axe every step of the way until it was deemed field-ready. Each axe is made out of solid AR400 steel-the same metal used in construction equipment and vehicle armor-and fitted with a fire-resistant handle. Because it is made out of such durable material, each FROST axe comes with a lifetime warranty. www.tradlabs.com.

Channellock Inc.’s CHANNELLOCK® 86 NINE-INCH RESCUE TOOL was named a “Best of What’s New” by Popular Science magazine. Based on real-world feedback from first responders, the new 86 Rescue Tool is designed for easy, intuitive, one-handed operation in high-stress situations.

It is American-made and combines the versatile linemen’s plier with more than five other tools into one so first responders have to carry only one piece of equipment to accomplish multiple tasks. Features include a gas shut-off slot that fits almost any valve, a spanner wrench that tightens and loosens up to five-inch hose couplings, and a jaw design that accommodates many shapes and provides maximum grip. www.channellock.com.

Golight, Inc.’s GXL 4211 OFF-ROAD LAMP features six air induction ports that enhance its thermal management capabilities and promote product longevity. The lamp’s optics has been specially engineered for the environment unique to off-road driving. Having the proper lighting and directional capability is critical in maintaining the safety of the first responders and the civilians on the scene at a night time event.

Whether trying to spot an address or scan the scene for victims, Golight’s sophisticated plano-convex lens optimally controls the substantial light generated by the lamp’s seven high-output LEDs, creating an intense 130,000-candela beam with a 12° angle that provides ample peripheral illumination while preserving center beam intensity. www.golight.com.
