EZ PUP
EZ PUP

It takes less than a minute to install the EZ PUP. Simply connect the hose to one end and the nozzle to the other end and you're ready to fight fire.
The EZ PUP's contoured shape fits against the firefighter's body like a rifle stock. EZ PUP makes it possible for a firefighter to transfer the reactionary forces of a charged line away from the arms and to an area of the body that has a larger muscle and bone mass. The four most comfortable positions are the shoulder, stomach, hip and thigh. All positions allow for one handed operation - freeing one hand to adjust the nozzle, signal for help, etc. These positions allow the operator to stand erect, thus taking the twist and strain off the back. The EZ PUP's curved shape allows the line behind the firefighter to touch the ground sooner which means less weight to support.

Overview of Fire Power Products

Frisbuoy Water & Ice Rescue
Frisbuoy

• The Frisbuoy is a throwable rescue device that has the aerodynamic characteristics of a large Frisbee.
• It has a sealed flotation chamber with approximately four pounds buoyancy that will keep the head of a 200 pound individual above water as they are pulled to safety by the rescuer. The 80 feet of line wound around the outside diameter of the disc uncoils as it spins while sailing through its flight path. The bright yellow rope floats on the surface and can pull over 300 pounds through the water.
• Weighs only 22 ounces and measures 2.5" high X 12" in diameter.
• In a rescue situation the rescuer grabs the looped end of the rope then throws the disc past the individual in distress and pulls it back towards the rescuer. The distressed individual can grab either the rope or the disc and then be steadily pulled to safety by the rescuer.

Water & Ice Rescue Frisbuoy Supplemental Information

The water and ice Frisbuoy is an emergency life saving tool. It is not a personal floatation device (PFD) for children or adults.
The Frisbuoy is designed to be thrown to a drowning victim who is conscious and to tow that victim to the thrower by pulling them through the water while they are holding on to the disc. The natural tendency of a victim is to clutch the disc tightly to the chest. In this position the disc helps support the victim and the victim can be pulled through the water quickly towards safety. Pulling the victim should be a motion that is smooth and quick but not fast. Pulling the victim with great speed or jerky motion could loosen their grip on the disc.
The Frisbuoy weights 22 ounces and can be comfortable thrown 75 feet by most adults and larger children. You and all potential users should practice with the Frisbuoy for a minimum of five throws each. The Frisbuoy must be wound with the line for either right- or left-handed throwing. Most left-handed people can leam to throw the Frisbuoy right-handed.
To throw the Frisbuoy, detach the Velcro strip at the blue tab and unwind 6 or 7 loops of line (approximately 15 to 20 feet) in a pile at your feet. Look for obstacles in the expected flight path and unusually high wind or current. In unusually high wind you must allow for drift or the Frisbuoy while in flight. For unusually high currents, you must allow for the drift of the victim and the Frisbuoy when it lands on the water. Hold on to the yellow rope near the Velcro strip with the non-throwing hand. Do not put the rope loop around your waist (the Velcro strip is only to keep the rope in place curing disc storage. Do not use the Velcro strip as an additional length of rope). Aim to throw the Frisbuoy past the victim a short distance on the upwind or up current side. Pull the Frisbuoy Rescue Disc to the victim and allow them to firmly grasp the Frisbuoy. Start towing the victim slowly and gradually increase speed until the towing motion helps to lift their head clear of the water. Be careful not to pull the Frisbuoy out of the victims grasp.
In a rescue attempt, should you for some reason not reach the victim, you can quickly retrieve the disc, coiling the line as neatly as possible on the ground near your feet and re-throw the disc without rewinding the line. The line will feed from its pile on the ground. You should be careful not to stand on any of the line as you could become tangled in the line and expose yourself to danger or severely limit the throw distance. The Frisbuoy will not fly as far using this method and will not be quite as accurate. You should practice this type of throw several times.

TAC Stick - AC Current Sensor
TAC Stick AC current sensor

Shock protection. Detects AC current. UL listed. The TAC Stick is essential equipment for fire and rescue, industrial maintenance, situation assessments, energy field verification.
Day or night, the TAC Stick helps keep you safe on the front line. Simple to use, this lightweight, hand held AC current sensing device can be used in natural disaster situations, transportation accidents and other emergency rescue operations. Three settings - high sensitivity, low sensitivity and front focused - TAC Stick enables you to sense AC currents from near or far, providing one of the most effective tools on the market today.

  • Senses current up to 50 ft. of typical unshielded transmission lines
  • Senses current up to 15 ft. from 120 volt power leaks
  • Audio and visual danger signals
  • Rugged PVC plastic outer housing, lanyard and rubber grip

Detection Range:
The detection range or sensitivity is defined as the distance between the TAC Stick and the wire conductor with the TAC Stick positioned for maximum indication. Signal "detection" shall be defined as a beeping rate of at least one indication every two seconds.

Typical Uses:

  • The TAC Stick is an invaluable tool for detecting unshielded AC current in natural disasters. Typical site assessment situations include floods, hurricanes, tornados, snow/ice storms, severe thunderstorms and earthquakes
  • Fire Fighters and Rescue Squads depend on the TAC Stick to be certain of safe conditions before entering burned out structures and crash sites such as vehicular accidents, airline disasters, train wrecks and terrorist bombings
  • The TAC Stick has also been proven to be beneficial to construction companies for the detection of energized overhead electrical lines that may come into contact with equipment
  • Prisons and other institutions utilizing electrified fencing use the TAC Stick to verify that the fence is not energized

The Hotspotter
Hotspotter

Handheld remote heat sensor.
The Hotspotter™ is a simple hand held infrared heat sensor designed to help locate hot spots at a distance quickly and easily. The Hotspotter will detect smoldering embers to help prevent rekindling and will find hot spots in floors, walls and ceilings. It can "see" components, checking bearing temperatures, etc. To operate the Hotspotter™, simply press the trigger button and point or scan. The Hotspotter emits a sound pitch corresponding to the temperature. Also and LED display lights up in sequence as the temperature increases. The Hotspotter is battery operated, compact, durable and watertight.

  • The Hotspotter detects heat from a distance by detecting infrared radiation. The hotter the object, the more infrared radiation it emits.
  • The Hotspotter converts the amount of infrared radiation into an audible tone and an LED display
  • By simply scanning a room, floor, ceiling, etc., and listening to the tone and/or LED display, the user can quickly detect any objects that are hotter than its surroundings
  • The Hotspotter can "see" through smoke
