ZIAMATIC CORP. (Zico) has announced the three winners of its FDIC International 2017 Z-Shlammer Giveaway. The three winners were chosen at random from nearly 2,000 entrants in a drawing following the show. The three winners are Deputy Chief Michael Haring of Key Biscayne, Florida; Firefighter Leroy Armstrong of Columbus, Indiana; and Firefighter/Paramedic Jacob See of Alexandria, Kentucky. Each chose to receive a Z-Shlammer with a black head and black handle. The Z-Shlammer is a six-pound hammer with a built-in steel pry/hook and hydrant wrench, all on a 1,200-pound-rated, 32-inch fiberglass handle with 3¾ inches of built-in over-swing protection.
GLOBE MANUFACTURING COMPANY continued its partnership with the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund at FDIC International 2017. Attendees were invited to experience the range of motion that is possible with Globe’s new ATHLETIX™ gear in a virtual reality experience for firefighters in the booth. Firefighters then spun a wheel to determine a donation - $10, $20, $50, or $100 - to the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund in their name.
Globe raised and donated $25,000 to the Fund. The Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund is made of up firefighters and family members who volunteer their time and energy to help fellow brothers, sisters, and departments in need. The fund sustains itself through fundraising and the donations of individuals, fire departments, and corporate sponsors.
“At Globe, we are celebrating 130 years of innovation this year,” says Rob Freese, senior vice president of marketing at Globe Manufacturing Company.
“We have always given back to the fire service and are proud to partner with the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, a hardworking group of volunteers that assists firefighters, families, and fire departments across the nation in their times of need.”
LAKE ASSAULT BOATS, a manufacturer of purpose-built and mission-specific fire and rescue boats, has one of its fireboats on duty with the Waconia (MN) Fire Department. The custom-built craft was placed into service on Lake Waconia late last summer and has already responded to several on-the-water emergencies. The custom Lake Assault modified V-hull design features a landing-craft-style configuration with a hydraulically operated bow door and removable side railings to enable faster and more efficient rescue operations.
The 21-foot boat is equipped with an extended T-top-style cabin with a roll-up security door for the helm station; a 250-hp Mercury Verado four-stroke engine; a 500-gpm deck-mounted fire pump and monitor; four remote controlled spotlights; a Stokes carrier; and a Garmin 12-inch touchscreen with Chartplotter, GPS, maps, and sonar.
THE LEADER GROUP and TEMPEST TECHNOLOGY have announced a merger of the companies. Leader has been producing and selling equipment used in firefighting and search and rescue operations worldwide for more than 32 years. Tempest has been manufacturing blowers and saws out of its California location for close to the same period of time. The Tempest manufacturing facility in Fresno will continue to operate as normal and will eventually be expanded to accommodate appropriate stocking levels of both Tempest and Leader products.
