FIRECOM TEAM COMMUNICATION
With a Firecom headset, you can keep your hands free while having a natural, real-time conversation; maintain situational awareness, and mitigate hearing loss. When you choose Firecom, you’re not only getting a trusted, high-quality communication headset, but a first-class service and support team that is on-site ready to take your call and answer your questions.
40+ YEARS OF HISTORY
Born out of a conversation with a local fire department more than 40 years ago, Firecom has had the privilege to help firefighters communicate clearly and hands-free, whether inside or outside the apparatus. Input from fire departments over the years has helped Firecom continuously develop and advance our products. From wired to wireless, vehicle-mounted to portable solutions, Firecom has built the most trusted name in the industry.
WHAT MAKES FIRECOM UNIQUE
CLEAR, HANDS-FREE COMMUNICATION
Our headsets use patented encrypted DECT® technology to support hands-free, full-duplex crew communication on the rig and across the fireground. This means no time delays, and no waiting your turn to speak. Everyone can hear and be heard when they have something to say, even in loud environments.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING WHILE MAINTAINING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Firecom’s listen-through technology lets you control how much outside sound to let in for safety and awareness. The headsets have external mics that allow you to hear approaching traffic or voices from behind you. You don’t have to pull an ear dome off at the pump panel to hear if someone trying is to get your attention. Easy push-button control on the headsets let you mix outside sound with comms traffic for precise situational awareness. Plus, the headsets limit all sounds to 85dB to ensure compliance with hearing safety and conservation standards.
MOVE FREELY
Without wires or cables in your way, you can jump out of the rig with your headset on and continue talking. And backing up the apparatus has never been easier – the driver can hear instructions from a spotter standing behind the apparatus to safely position your rig.
ALL-DAY USE
Our wireless headsets last up to 24 hours without a charge. They turn on automatically when pulled from the charge cord, so they’re ready to work when you are.
WIRED, WIRELESS, OR HYBRID SOLUTIONS
Firecom provides both apparatus-installed and portable wireless headsets for flexibility to fit your department’s unique SOPs.

Engineering The Future Of Fire
Increased fire threats plus population and economic shifts are changing the work of keeping communities safe. While the overall population grows, head counts for first responders remain stagnant, many current first responders will retire in the next five years, and recruiting new first responders is difficult as mechanical shop classes have disappeared. The challenge is formidable. So why do we do it? For the same reason courageous emergency personnel rush toward danger. IDEX Fire & Safety is committed to empowering first responders to save lives – including their own. Together with leaders like you, we are engineering the future of fire by viewing the world through their eyes.
Our advanced waterflow system, SAM, was invented by a firefighter and mechanical engineer who spent years designing simpler, faster, and safer equipment for his fellow first responders. The SAM system empowers the attack crew and frees the pump operator to focus on the fireground instead of the truck, preventing catastrophic human error. SAM revolutionized the fire and safety industry the way automatic transmissions did for consumer cars. It has a 100% repurchase rate. Once you’ve worked with SAM, there’s no other option. And ordering new SAM trucks is easy with seamless integration of IDEX Fire & Safety components.
Upcoming federal mandates for equipment data and asset tracking combined with an increasingly diverse fleet of rescue vehicles expand the already considerable administrative effort of keeping a department running. This challenges departments’ ability to service vehicles in a timely manner, keep pace with manual record-keeping, rely on operators to self-report maintenance needs, and prepare for unexpected equipment failures.
The challenge is formidable. So why do we do it? For the same reason courageous emergency personnel rush toward danger.

HURST JAWS OF LIFE® EXTENDS LIVES
HURST Jaws of Life®, a business unit of IDEX Fire & Safety, celebrated the 50th anniversary of the revolutionary Jaws of Life brand in 2022. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. The history of HURST Jaws of Life rescue tools began when George Hurst, the manufacturer of Hurst shifters and a racing enthusiast, devised a prototype tool to extricate auto racers from high-speed wrecks. In 1972, less than a year later, the HURST Power Tool debuted to the public with production of the model JL-32, which soon was helping first responders extricate everyday drivers from roadside accidents. It gained popularity among firefighters, emergency technicians and law enforcement, and it was soon monikered and then trademarked as the Jaws of Life. Since then, we haven’t stopped innovating. Our commitment to research and development, along with quality manufacturing, has resulted in a line of products known for their outstanding safety, durability and performance. Because of this commitment, HURST Jaws of Life® is the most trusted brand in the industry, and our rescue systems have been instrumental in saving hundreds of thousands of lives throughout those 50 years.
HURST products travel with more than 35,000 rescue squads and fire and police departments throughout the world. Our company has the strongest network of distributors in the industry with extensive coverage throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and the rest of the world. These distribution partners provide excellent sales, service and training to fire and rescue departments, emergency services, military installations and government agencies across North America and beyond. And thanks to IDEX, our parent company, we’ve made connections with fire and safety groups worldwide. Founded in 1988 with three small, entrepreneurial manufacturing companies, we’re proud to say that we now call 40 diverse businesses around the world part of the IDEX family. With 7,000 employees and manufacturing operations in more than 20 countries, IDEX is a high-performing, global $2+ billion company committed to making trusted solutions that improve lives.
HURST Jaws of Life has expanded the rescue tool portfolio to also include cutters, combination tools, rescue rams and accessories to help first responders stay safe at the scene. Today’s tools are smaller and lightweight, and they can cut, spread, lift and breach metal, wood and rebar on vehicles and structures to allow first responders to get to entrapped people and save their lives.
Over the years, our company has continually raised the bar on rescue tool power and performance. It introduced the industry’s first battery-powered extrication tool line, eDRAULIC®,
in 2010, allowing first responders tool operation unencumbered by hoses and generators. It next invented StrongArm®, a battery-powered multitool that fits easily in the trunk of a law enforcement vehicle and operates quietly enough for SWAT team use. In 2019, HURST Jaws of Life launched eDRAULIC Watertight Extrication Tool (EWXT), the first battery-operated tool line to operate completely submerged in fresh water. In 2021, HURST Jaws of Life debuted eDRAULIC 3.0, a revolutionary extrication tool line offering turbo power, a smart dashboard and fresh and saltwater compatibility.

Performance
At Pierce Manufacturing, fire trucks are built to live up to the demands of firefighters and the communities they serve. Behind every highly customized, carefully-designed and engineered pumper, aerial, tanker and rescue unit is a team of professionals whose mission is to build a truck, exactly how it’s ordered. To Pierce, every step of the process is personal; from innovation and expertise, to customization and service.
As a single-source manufacturer with over one million square feet of state-of-the-art production space, there’s a reason you’ll find more than 30,000 Pierce trucks on the road today. Facilities are ISO-9001 certified, showing the company’s dedication to meet world-class standards for quality.
Proven Technology
Pierce is continually evolving to provide firefighters with industry-leading advancements and unmatched innovation. As a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, the experienced team has access to an arsenal of cutting-edge technologies and revolutionary processes that have contributed to the development of four custom chassis and best-in-class innovations.

- Foam Systems: Pierce’s integrated foam systems help firefighters perform beyond the capabilities of water alone. Whether it’s Pierce’s innovative Husky™ foam system or the Hercules™ compressed air foam system, these systems are designed to improve the fire-extinguishing capabilities of water, enhance on-scene efficiencies and promote water use reduction.
- Pierce Ultimate Configuration (PUC™): An innovative apparatus solution designed to simplify firefighters’ actions and reduce unnecessary risk. The PUC eliminates the traditional pump house, is easier to operate, maximizes compartment space and simplifies service.
- TAK-4® Independent Suspension: Independent Front Suspension (IFS), stops faster, corners better, improves handling, offers better ride quality and is far more maneuverable than any straight-axle truck on the road. Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) operates like IFS but provides power to the wheels. With the ability to add TAK-٤ T٣, the ١٠٠٪ mechanical steering system further improves control and mobility.
Customer Support
Pierce’s dealer network is the strongest in the fire industry and is always there to listen to what’s needed, provide guidance and offer support. Fire departments count on the Pierce Service Brigade, a coast-to-coast network of more than 600 factory-trained technicians, to ensure the right service is done at the right time. It’s only fair. Firefighters pour everything they’ve got into fighting fires. The Pierce team pours everything they’ve got into making sure a fire truck is ready to perform.
Experience
With 110 years of manufacturing experience, Pierce’s unwavering commitment to quality is not just a promise. It’s ingrained into who they are. Employees, from the assembly team to the unmatched dealer network, are driven to serve firefighters. Why? Because many Pierce team members are firefighters themselves.
Community
Commitment to performance extends beyond Pierce’s factory walls and into the communities served. A significant part of the Pierce legacy involves giving back to the community and the fire industry through contributions and events like the annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event that takes place on the steps of Lambeau Field, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. All funds raised benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
The Pierce team doesn’t think of building fire trucks as just another job. That’s evident every time you walk through a Pierce facility and have a conversation with the people who build these rigs. Visit Pierce before you settle on your next apparatus.

NECESSITY – THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
Hot Shield USA specializes in wildland firefighter face masks & protective respirator covers. The idea for a wildland mask began after two firefighters tried to buy something better than a typical shroud or bandanna. To their amazement, no mask was available anywhere. They began to develop a mask with the twin goals of burn protection and reduction of smoke & ash particulate common to all wildfires. After much trial & error, their invention was met those goals and the Hot Shield line of face masks were brought to market. To prove the masks effectiveness & legitimacy, they would put on a radical demonstration where one would blast a torch flame to the others Hot Shield covered face. 30+ years later, the Hot Shield line of masks & shrouds remain the worlds best face & neck protection in wildland.
Hot Shield USA employs CarbonX, the most inherently thermally resistant fabric in the world. With the exclusive patented design, In independent third party testing, the following four fire industry tests were performed on their HS-2 model: the RPP or Radiant Protective Performance ASTM F1939-NFPA 1977(2011), and the TPP or Thermal Protective Performance ISO 17492-NFPA 2112., the Char Length ASTM D6413-NFPA 1977(2011) and the After Flame ASTM D6413-NFPA 1977(2011).
The results of the RPP test showed the Hot Shield mask with CarbonX scored 11.1, far exceeding the NFPA standard of 7. The TPP test scores were dramatic: it scored a 10.2 vs the NFPA minimum requirement of 3. The Char Length test was superior at 1” vs the 4” NFPA minimum and the After Flame was incredible at zero seconds vs NFPA minimum of 2 seconds.
Especially gratifying to the inventor are when firefighters write or call to express their appreciation & gratitude for a life saving face mask, often citing the Hot Shield either saved their life or made the difference in their personal health and safety.

WORK SMARTER, SAFER & GET THE JOB DONE FASTER
A hose related back injury led Firefighter/Founder Javier Fernandez to design and patent tools that would prevent back injuries for all firefighters. Since back injuries are the number one cause of early duty disability retirement across the US, his goal was to exceed NFPA safety standards throughout the process and eliminate the potential for injuries during hose management. This system prevents loading hose while riding precariously on top of moving apparatus. The dangerous and antiquated practice has led to injuries and deaths.
• ROLLNRACK Tools cover:
• Firefighter Life Safety Initiative #1
• Exceed NFPA 1500 Safety Standards
• Highlighted in IFSTA’s Essentials 7
• Qualify for all Safety Grant Apps
• Prevent riding on rigs to load hose (load LDH with
two firefighters)
• ALL hose (up to 7.25”) handled ergonomically
• 100’ of LDH Drained & Rolled in under 30 seconds
• The Efficiency Package saves budget dollars and cuts scene
time in half
“The goal was to improve a firefighter’s quality of life by working smarter, more efficiently and being as safe as possible. Heavy rolls of LDH are rocked into or out of the units and loaded onto stationary rigs. No one rides on moving apparatus to load hose, ever.” Fernandez states.
The customizable system is portable and fully independent of the apparatus. With shrinking budgets, higher workman’s comp insurance, an aging work force, the current shortages in the volunteer ranks and expanding coverage, THE ROLLNRACK SYSTEM makes a difference. Videos show how they can help any department or company. “It’s the safest system on the market and has streamlined hose management for volunteer, career, industrial and military firefighters all over the world.” The ROLLNRACK SYSTEM is MADE IN THE USA and demonstrated at all shows attended.

Dedicated to saving lives throughout the world
Skedco was founded in 1981 by Bud and Catherine Calkin for the purpose of manufacturing the SKED® stretcher. Skedco immediately targeted the Military and Fire Service as the obvious market. They very quickly found that cavers, industry and wilderness rescue teams needed the Sked too.
By 1984 Skedco produced the Oregon Spine Splint. It was necessary to create their own immobilizer as the only other one was produced by a competitor. It was added to the Sked System. Shortly after the OSS came a flotation kit. It makes the SKED® float nearly vertically and will “self right” when capsized. The complete system fits into one backpack that doubles as a towing harness when it is necessary to drag the SKED® in a hands free mode. Later, they developed the inflatable floats which made the system even smaller for storage and transport. The complete system was then standardized by the military but it still wasn’t understood by the end users.
When “Operation Just Cause” occurred and the U.S military invaded Panama to capture Manuel Norriega the Army purchased a very good number of SKED® systems. SKED® performed very well during that operation. Lives and at least one spinal cord were saved.
The U.S. Army Rangers were the first to use the SKED® to haul equipment. They would drag mortars, mortar rounds, ammunition, many other critical items and sometimes a patient faster and easier than carrying them.
In the early 1990’s OSHA mandated that industry be able to respond and affect a confined space rescue in a very short time. SKED® was the natural choice for confined spaces as it will bring victims through smaller, more confined areas than any other stretcher, even when the patient is immobilized.
The Fire Service also began using the Sked a lot more frequently. They saved lives using the SKED® when no other stretcher would work.
SKEDCO now produces over 200 products some of which are SKED® Stretcher, Oregon Spine Splint, Sked-Evac Tripod, SKEDCO Rescue Hauler and SKEDCO Microhauler 4:1 mechanical advantage rescue pulley systems, HALF SKED, SKEDCO Window Escape Anchor, Hazmat SKED Stretcher systems and a wide array of Military rescue and emergency medical products. The company and its’ employees remain dedicated to saving lives throughout the world.
Skedco wishes to thank all of those brave men and women who are risking their own safety to save others. They are truly the world’s greatest treasure.
