Feature-packed eyewear takes everything work can throw at it

CLEVELAND—May 26, 2022—Clear vision is vital to most every job out there and Brass Knuckle® has created eyewear that can handle just about anything work throws at it. Dust and debris? Fog? No matter the threat, it’s lights out with new Midnight (BKDST-1050AFP) Safety Glasses. If it can impair a worker’s vision, Midnight puts it to bed. The trifecta of face-tight gasket, SideShield, and wraparound protection makes work comfortable for the wearer, and life miserable for dust and fog. The lenses feature BK-Anti-FOG+, the world’s best anti-fog protection, to keep vision clear in high-moisture, high-heat conditions.

Each pair features a removable gasket made of soft-but-tough EVA foam, forming a dust filter that completely fills the gap between the glasses and the face, to seal in eyes and keep dust out. When opened to wear, exclusive SideShield earpieces meet extended lenses at a tight, precision-cut seam for true wraparound protection. It’s the ultimate weapon against dust ingress.

Next, Brass Knuckle bonds its industry-leading BK-Anti-FOG+ directly to the lens, adhering to a standard 45-times tougher than the most stringent anti-fog standard in the world. How? When developing its line of fog-fighting protective eyewear, there was no antifog standard in the U.S., so Brass Knuckle began developing its science to meet EN 166/168, which was and remains the most stringent anti-fog standard in the world. Then they continued to tweak the BK-Anti-FOG properties until it exceeded those standards.

They didn’t stop there, as each lens also offers 99.99% UV protection.

This rugged, versatile eyewear has a substantial feel while remaining lightweight and is paired with firm, flexible earpieces that hug the face with just enough give for all-day comfort, because eye protection only works when it’s on the face. Also meets demanding industry test requirements (ANSI Z87.1, EN166UV) and offers abrasion and chemical resistance.

Two new engines for Flagler County (FL) Fire Rescue could soon be on order after the county commissioners approved spending up to $1.24 million for the apparatus, according to a report published by Palmcoastobserver.com.

According to the web site, the money will be transferred from the county’s General Fund Reserves which currently totals $18.4 million.

The chief of the department explained the apparatus are needed because two in the current fleet are worn out and need to be replaced, the web site reported, adding that they have the equivalent of more than 300,000 miles each on them.

The county plans to buy the apparatus from Pierce Mfg. as they have in the past, but this time they’re planning to have them built at the Bradenton, Florida location because of a shorter delivery time, the web site said.

Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue is taking another step towards dealing with two of its aging fire stations. The Fire District Commission this month agree to hire a consultant to evaluate the two primary fire stations. Fire Chief Jake Patterson says the two primary stations are Fire Station 21 at Gale’s Addition and Fire Station 22 at Dry Creek.

A 2022 medium-duty rescue truck was recently put in service by the Redstone (AL) Fire Department, according to a report published by the Redstone Rocket.

According to the report, the new rig was built by Rosenbauer and replaces a 1994 model. The new rescue truck was bought as part of a bulk purchase by the Army. Redstone was one of several departments in the area to receive new apparatus.

Members of the department received familiarization training on the new apparatus at a session at Fire Station 3 on Patton Road, according to the published report.

The City of Batavia (NY) Fire Department is in line to get a $700,000 engine after the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development offered funding for the apparatus, according to a report published by The Batavian.

The city council approved the proposed funding of a $630,000 loan, a grant of $50,000 and $20,000 to be taken from the department’s reserves at a meeting on Monday night, according to the report.

A 20-year-old apparatus will be replaced once the new pumper has been built, the report states, adding that the new rig will be a 2023 custom rescue-style pumper with a custom cab, a 1,500-gallon pump and a 750-gallon tank, LED warning and scene lighting, and to be constructed of stainless steel or aluminum.
