CLEAR COMMAND SYSTEM
We have been fortunate enough that through the help of grant funding we have purchased 15 “Clear Command” radio systems.
These top of the line communication tools allow our firefighters to better communicate with those who are directing the fire.
Evolution 5200 HD -
With our current thermal imaging camera, the last of its family still working in Ross Township, nearing the end of its service life we have upgraded to the Evolution 5200 HD. This new camera affords us better graphics, heat sensors, and the ability to zoom in on an object.
Why is it so valuable?
The first mission of the Fire Department is to Protect Lives and that is the main purpose of this piece of equipment. With it we are able to “see through smoke” which allows us to better search for victims.
Cardiac Science -
Thanks to a grant received by our brothers at the Fairview VFD (250) for use throughout Ross Township by FEMA we have received 2 new AEDs.
With Fire Departments often responding along side EMS services and Cardiac Arrest being the #1 cause of Firefighter Line of Duty Death carrying one of these devices on each of our vehicles allows us to better serve the community as well as protect our own firefighters.
