The HOZE DOLLY can help avoid career-ending back injuries. At the end of a fire, HOZE DOLLY enables firefighters to retrieve heavy rolls of LDH from along the water supply route with no lifting. Once back at the apparatus, HOZE DOLLY instantly transforms into a “Lazy Susan,” allowing smooth and rapid uncoiling of the LDH roll for reloading onto the hosebed. When finished, the collapsible HOZE DOLLY compactly stores easily in most apparatus compartments, getting companies back in service quickly. www.hozedolly.com


RESCUE Intellitech has launched a single-phase version of the SOLO RESCUE® decon washer, expanding accessibility to fire departments regardless of power supply.

Fire departments can still decontaminate their PPE, including SCBA, face pieces, boots, gloves, and helmets, while significantly reducing exposure to carcinogens such as PAH compounds. Additionally, the machine’s basket system allows cleaning diverse types of PPE, ensuring comprehensive decontamination capabilities. www.rescueintellitech.com
