FireDos monitors and infrared camera for automated extinguishing from DoseTech Fire
Early fire detection systems using infrared detection allow early identification of potential fire sources and rapid response times. Hazardous hotspots that may turn into a fire source are identified within minutes, even before smoke or flames appear. One stationary, relatively inexpensive camera can cover a large area when using a lower resolution but this will prevent the early detection of fires while they are still small. With more sophisticated technology, such as the Orglmeister PYROsmart® pro system, areas can alternatively be surveyed using a single pan/tilt head camera. It continuously scans a large area and builds a high-resolution radiometric panorama image.
The Falcon Tactical UHP: When precision meets power on the frontline
Every serious response team needs a tool they can trust. A unit that does not only arrive at the scene but arrives with purpose, clarity and control. This is where the Falcon Tactical UHP stakes its claim. It is not a typical first response vehicle. It is a purpose built ultra-high pressure platform engineered to give crews faster access, deeper control and cleaner knockdown in environments where every second is measured. The heart of the Falcon lies in its ultra-high pressure system that delivers seventy five litres per minute at one hundred bar through a precisely engineered hose reel and nozzle assembly. This pressure transforms water into a fine mist that strips heat, disrupts flame structure and delivers rapid cooling with minimal water consumption.

Enhancing foam firefighting with Task Force Tips FoamJet Series
In firefighting operations, especially those involving flammable liquids or hazardous materials, foam is a critical tool. It suppresses vapours, smothers flames, and helps prevent reignition. However, for foam to be truly effective, it must be properly aerated to produce a high-quality finished blanket. The Task Force Tips (TFT) FoamJet Series provides a simple, lightweight, and effective solution to achieve just that. Aeration matters: Why use a foam attachment? Foam attachments, also known as aspirators, are essential for achieving optimal foam performance. These devices entrain air and mechanically agitate the foam solution at the point of discharge, resulting in low to medium expansion finished foam that offers improved stability, coverage and cling.
Thermal imaging suit and thermal imaging hood from Survival Technology
At the heart of all search and rescue operations is the aim to locate the casualty as quickly as possible. Increasingly, technology is used to help locate a victim in poor visibility environments (smoke-filled buildings) or when lost in a large geographical area. Thermal Imaging has an important role to play in speeding up searches and after extensive development and testing, we are excited to offer you two Thermal Imaging Training Solutions. Our new Thermal Imaging Suit was designed to meet the growing demand for a manikin that could be detected on thermal imaging equipment. But instead of creating a manikin that had this capability, we have designed a special suit that goes over the top of your existing manikin to give instant thermal imaging capabilities, with more flexibility.
