PIERCE MANUFACTURING INC., an Oshkosh Corporation company, has placed a pair of Pierce® Quantum® quint 105-foot heavy-duty aerial ladders into service with the Oshkosh (WI) Fire Department. The apparatus feature TAK-4® independent front suspension and the TAK-4 T3™ steering system, combining mechanical rear steering with a fully independent rear suspension for maneuverability, ride quality, traction, and stability.

Each of the identical pair of Quantum aerial ladders is equipped with a Detroit DD13 500-hp engine and a Command Zone™ advanced electronics and control system. The vehicles’ cabs include seating for four firefighters, forward facing EMS compartments, and frontal impact and side roll protection systems. Pierce dealer Fire Apparatus and Equipment, Inc., of Appleton Wisconsin, provides local service and support.

HONEYWELL and DUPONT™ Kevlar® have combined to award 20 deserving firefighters and first responders with full paid scholarships-including travel and accommodations-to attend FDIC International 2017. The final five recipients are Lieutenant Robert Drake, Hanover (VA) Fire-EMS Department; Captain Jason Dolph, Anchorage (AK) Fire Department; Dan Gatz, De Pere (WI) Fire Rescue; Brian Minton, Williston (ND) Fire Department; and Pat Taaffe, St. Johns County (FL) Fire Rescue.

The NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) has issued a Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) that requires PASS manufacturers to change the PASS alarm sound required in NFPA 1982, Standard on Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS) [2013 ed.], for PASS devices manufactured after December 21, 2016, to a new, more audible PASS alarm sound. This impacts standalone PASS devices and PASS that are integrated with SCBA. While the TIA does not require that PASS devices or SCBA with integrated PASS devices be updated to the new alarm sound, all users of PASS devices compliant with NFPA 1982 (2013 ed.) are encouraged to consider upgrading their equipment to incorporate this new and more audible PASS alarm sound.

Since its inception, the ECOLOGIC testing system has proven effective on several brands and models of ARFF vehicles. The U.S. Air Force’s contract will integrate the ECOLOGIC system on 23 ARFF models within its fleet.
