PGI’s COBRA™ NEXTGEN™ HOODS feature improved contour that better shapes to one’s head for improved fit and comfort. A fuller cut builds a little “ease” into the hood so it doesn’t fit skintight like typical firefighting hoods. This more generous cut provides improved thermal resistance from heat and flame due to the extra space between the hood and the head.

Plus, a 1¼-inch increase to the width of the patented Sure-Fit panel affords a more consistent seal fit with most SCBA masks and mask hardware. All Cobra NextGen Hoods are UL classified to meet or exceed the design and performance requirements of NFPA 1971. www.NextGenHoods.com. (800) 558-8290.

Michael Morse’s CITY LIFE, distributed by Simon and Schuster, is available at all major retailers and bookstores. A gripping account of life as a first responder, Rescue Lieutenant Morse brings you into the homes, minds, and hearts of the people who live in one of America’s oldest and most diverse cities.

He takes you along for a breathtaking ride as he responds to emergencies that can be heartwarming, hilarious – and sometimes tragic. From the profound to the absurd, from challenging situations to total disbelief, it’s all simply a day at work for our firefighters, EMTs, and police officers. www.rescuingprovidence.com.

MedixSafe’s KEY CARE CABINET allows the user to not only organize his access keys but to control them as well. The Key Care Cabinet integrates with the company’s line of narcotics security cabinets, providing a solution for both of these critical concerns the First Response community faces: key and narcotics control. A “key” feature that differentiates the MedixSafe Key Care Cabinet from low-end key cabinets is that it enables more secure access.

Because a single PIN can be easily compromised, dual, triple, or biometric authentication credentials are required before access to the Key Care Cabinet is granted. It accommodates more than 1,000 individual users and provides an audit trail history of up to 50,000 events. http://medixsafe.com. (855) 633-4972.
