LED Lights are Now Available on RAMFAN EX500/EX520 Models

RAMFAN PPV fans

RAMFAN announces its latest feature to the EX500 and EX520 models: LED lights. Like the EX50Li battery operated PPV fans, the EX500 and EX520 electric operated PPV fans will come equipped with four high-intensity LED lights, which will allow these fans to function during low-visibility and nighttime operations.

The dimensions of the EX500 and EX520 models will remain the same, no loose accessories will be added, but the addition of 400 lumens of high-intensity flood lighting will make these two models more efficient. Also included are an On/Off toggle integrated into the control panel, and the lighting and control panel meets IP66 degrees of ingress protection.

Learn more about the new upgraded fans: http://ramfan.com/specification/ex500ex520-2/

The EX500 and EX520 models with LED lighting will be available for sale in October 2018. As the existing models are depleted from our inventory, the updated design will be substituted on orders after these dates.

For more information, please go to RAMFAN.com, or contact your local Euramco Sales Representative at the team@euramco.com.

Chelan County Fire District (WA) Look to Preserve History at New Fire Station

But because Wenatchee Fire Station No. 1 at 136 South Chelan Avenue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, certain processes, like a public comment period, must be followed before the bell and pole can be moved. Fire Chief Mike Burnett said they hope to take one of the two remaining poles to the new station.

“Our new design for the fire station has [the pole] as our actual main point for the firefighters to get from the second story down to the apparatus bay. So it’s a functional purpose,” said Burnett. “We also use the pole for all of our tours that come in. Every kid that comes into the fire station wants to see a fire engine, wants to see a fire pole. So it’s not only just educational and PR but it’s also a functional access for the firefighters to get from their living quarters down to the fire apparatus. We’re hoping to take the historical pole with us. Leave one here in the building and take the other one with us.”
