HURST Jaws of Life, Inc., launched six new tools, including cutters, combination tools, and spreaders. The SP 777 Spreader is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, the SP 510, and perfectly suited for high-strength steel. Like the SP 777, the SP 777E2 Spreader from the HURST Jaws of Life eDRAULIC line has a single integrated cylinder body design and large blade opening.
The intuitive blade design of the S 312 and S 312E2 cutters provides a powerful cut while increased cutting force and fast opening and closing action ensure a quick rescue. With a compact cylinder body design, the SC 358 and SC 358E2 bring increased pulling force to the rescue scene. All six tools feature the ergonomically designed star grip for tool actuation from almost any gripping position, and a dead man control valve reverts to the neutral position if a worker’s hand slips from the control. www.jawsoflife.com, 800-537-2659
HME Ahrens-Fox, Inc., Ahrens-Fox Stainless Steel Centrifugal Pumps are for installation in all HME Ahrens-Fox fire apparatus. They feature a corrosion-resistant stainless steel volute case to extend service life and performance while reducing the need for anode maintenance typically found in iron case volutes. The stainless steel volute case is nearly three times more resistant to damage from cavitation and six times more resistant to wear or damage from pumping abrasive materials.
The construction of the pumps incorporates helical drive train gearing for quieter operation and double taper roller bearings supporting the shafts. These design elements allow a transfer-case rating of 19,500 ft-lbs in the AF-2000SS, 2,000-gpm model. The line includes 1,000-, 1,250-, 1,500-, 1,750-, and 2,000-gpm models, designated as the AF-1000SS, AF-1250SS, AF-1500SS, AF-1750SS, and AF-2000SS, respectively. www.firetrucks.com, 616-534-1463
The Scott Sight software release includes a new standby mode that provides firefighters with the ability to enable and disable live thermal video on the in-mask display without removing the face piece. Additional enhancements in the software release include streamlined methods for powering the in-mask display and thermal imaging camera on and off.
Customers who purchased the first version of Scott Sight will have the opportunity to update their software to take advantage of the latest enhancements. www.scottsafety.com, 704-291-8300

REV GROUP has acquired FERRARA FIRE APPARATUS, Inc., a custom fire apparatus and rescue vehicle manufacturer that engineers and manufactures vehicles for municipal and industrial customers. The Ferrara product portfolio includes multiple fire apparatus configurations tailored to the specific requirements and demands of the fire service industry - including custom builds on its own chassis as well as solutions on commercially available chassis such as Freightliner and International.
Ferrara joins E-ONE and KME in REV’s Fire Group. “We are pleased to welcome Ferrara to the lineup of our premier portfolio of fire brands which includes E-ONE and KME,” says Dan Peters, president of REV Fire Group. “The Ferrara brand has a long history of product innovation built around a commitment to heavy duty vehicle construction.”
PIERCE MANUFACTURING Inc., has delivered the first-ever Pierce® Ascendant® 107-foot tractor-drawn aerial tiller to the Tuscaloosa (AL) Fire & Rescue Department. The fire apparatus is built on a Pierce Arrow XT™ chassis and features a 500-hp engine, a four-door cab, and seating for six firefighters. The tiller trailer includes TAK-4® independent suspension for a smoother ride and enhanced control.
The 107-foot aerial ladder features a weight-optimized design structure that places weight and mass only where required. The aerial delivers a full 107-foot vertical reach and a 100-foot horizontal reach with a below-grade operation of -10°. Local Pierce dealer Emergency Equipment Professionals (EEP) provides comprehensive sales and support services.
REV GROUP is pleased to announce the delivery of the first E-ONE Metro 100 quint to the Sarasota County (FL) Fire Department. E-ONE’s Metro 100 quint features a 100-foot ladder on a single rear axle; a 235-inch wheelbase; a choice of LTH 100, HM 100, or 110-foot aerial devices, each featuring a 2.5:1 structural safety factor; integral torque box chassis constructed with formed high strength steel;
crisscross under-slung jacks with only 11-foot spread; 24K Dana front beam axle with taper leaf springs; 35K Dana rear axle with Link Atlas air suspension; up to a 2,000-gpm pump; and 300- or 500-gallon water tank. Features specific to Sarasota County include a Cummins ISX12 500-hp engine and Allison EVS4000 transmission and a severe-duty front bumper with two hydraulic reels and tray for hydraulic rescue tools.
MSA SAFETY INCORPORATED has established a three-year sustaining partnership with the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) to continue to raise awareness of the cancer risks faced by firefighters. MSA will donate $50,000 over the life of the partnership. In addition to the official partnership, MSA launched a special campaign at FDIC International 2017 to raise awareness of the steps firefighters can take to reduce their risk. Called #KeepYourMaskOn, the campaign encourages firefighters to take responsibility and help protect their health by wearing their mask from initial attack through overhaul - a preventive measure that has been identified to reduce firefighters’ exposure to carcinogens.
