Tempest Technology SHADOW™ brand smoke machines-the SHADOW Dusk, Nightfall, and Blackout-boast updated designs and numerous new features. The SHADOW Dusk replaces Tempest's previous Shadow smoke machine and is built for high smoke output while still being the most economical in the lineup.

The Blackout is an all new addition and delivers the highest smoke output of the three, suitable for large-scale training and simulation needs.

Scott Safety EPIC 3 Radio Interface (RI) Voice Communication System is the latest addition to the EPIC 3 communications platform. The EPIC 3 RI system enables clear and effective communications between on-scene firefighters and incident commanders, remote dispatchers, and other radio users to improve first responder safety and situational intelligence.

The complete solution includes Bluetooth® equipped voice amplifiers, lapel speaker microphones, specialized accessories, and programming utilities to meet the demanding needs and conditions on the fireground. The EPIC 3 Lapel Speaker Microphones support a broad range of field radio makes and models, allowing customers to add the operational and safety benefits of the EPIC 3 RI communication system to their existing radio equipment. When used in conjunction with the EPIC 3 RI Bluetooth amplifier, a firefighter can communicate through the radio via a push-to-talk (PTT) interface, providing a tremendous improvement to in-mask communication clarity. When the SCBA is not in use, the lapel speaker microphone functions as a standard lapel mic.
