Cygnus introduces the SmartNet-100

News Desk /

The Cygnus SmartNet-100 system is designed for small to medium-sized projects and can support up to 100 devices connected to a single control panel. Drawing from their previous SmartNet-Pro system, the SmartNet-100 fills the requirement for setups with fewer devices. The system differs from the SmartNet-Pro in its capacity to handle up to 100 devices linked to a single panel. According to Austen Wells, Sales Manager at Cygnus, “Small to medium-sized projects often cannot afford the downtime, the disruption, or the expense of fitting a wired fire detection and alarm system. SmartNet-100 provides a fast and cost-effective solution.” The system aims to detect threats such as smoke or fire while trying to reduce false alarms. It doesn’t require wired components like boosters or translators, which can potentially streamline the installation process. The network uses battery-powered radio devices connected through a self-healing mesh network, based on the Cygnus protocol. The system functions across 10 frequency channels ranging from 865-868 MHz. The control panel is powered by the mains. The SmartNet-100 system is intended to reduce the need for extensive cabling, which might save on engineering time and project expenses. The product range includes Radio Bases with optional Sounders, Visual Indicator Detectors, and various detector heads. The SmartNet-100 has the ‘Made in Britain’ label and complies with EN 54 and BS 5839 standards. To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.

KASK helmet series for wildfire firefighting

News Desk /

KASK, a distinguished designer and producer of high-performance head protection gear, has introduced the Quantum series as its inaugural line of helmets for wildfire firefighting and technical rescue operations. These helmets are designed for first responders engaged in high-risk tasks that require extended usage. KASK has set a new benchmark for rescue and wildland firefighting helmets by crafting a solution inspired by the evolution of rescue and climbing headgear, advancements in materials technology, and the ever-evolving challenges of technical rescue, natural disaster response, and wildland firefighting. In response to these evolving requirements, KASK has developed a novel helmet that complies with three crucial European helmet standards: Wildland Firefighting, Technical Rescue, and Mountaineering. This design is rooted in three fundamental KASK principles: safety, comfort, and aesthetics. This presented the team with the challenge of addressing distinct risk factors encountered in emergency response applications, including impact absorption, durability, and adverse environments. Simultaneously, they aimed to ensure helmet stability, comfort, and user-friendliness. The Quantum helmet embodies these objectives, starting from its innovative fire and chemical-resistant PC-PBT alloy outer shell and high-density EPS inner layer with a thermoformed cover, extending to the Adaptive Fit system that can be easily adjusted even with gloved hands. “Quantum began with a question: why can’t we design a better helmet set for these essential workers and the risks they face?” stated Marta Beltramello, Sales & Marketing Director of KASK Safety. “This was the criteria for decision making during development. We are truly honored to provide equipment that is designed better: safer, more comfortable, easier to use, and in the end what they want to wear.” The Quantum Series has been honored with the 2023 iF Design Award for Design Excellence by the iF International Forum Design. This accolade underscores the Italian-based company’s commitment to developing advanced products that prioritise user needs, offer tangible benefits, and boast exceptional design, all in line with their motto, “Performance is a beautiful thing.” TECHNICAL DETAILS When conceiving the Quantum helmet, significant thought was given to the wide range of applications and risks that a fire and rescue helmet must address. This led to the incorporation of not only a more performance-oriented, application-based design but also a more effective response to the high-risk nature of emergency situations. Quantum leverages KASK’s proven expertise in high-performance head protection, drawn from their cycling, snow sports, equestrian, and industrial safety divisions. Safety is guaranteed thanks to the external shell made from a polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate (PC/PBT) alloy blend, which offers higher impact resistance across various temperatures, increased heat and flame resistance, and greater chemical resistance. The expanded polystyrene inner foam shell ensures comprehensive impact energy absorption and enhanced comfort. Thermoformed polystyrene covers the EPS, providing increased durability and ease of cleaning and decontamination. Outstanding wearer comfort is delivered through a multi-layered fabric inner padding with moisture-wicking technology and exceptionally soft textiles that enhance overall comfort. It can be effortlessly removed or replaced using the patented Click-In system. Furthermore, the patented Adaptive Fit system adapts to individual head shapes, creating a personalised, secure fit. Adjusting the large diameter dial enables the ergonomic side wings to cradle the nape of the neck, while the self-adjusting hinge moves up and down to maintain a comfortable and secure position that moves with the wearer. The fire-resistant acrylic chinstrap offers five points of adjustment on the sides and rear. Quantum is available in a closed-shell or Cabrio configuration, featuring 14 vents for improved airflow and wearer comfort. It includes anti-intrusion metal mesh vent covers to prevent debris from entering the ventilation channels. Quantum Cabrio also comes equipped with a sliding closure system. Like all KASK helmets, Quantum incorporates several additional design elements that enhance the wearer’s experience. It includes integrated slots for easy attachment of KASK eye, face, hearing, and weather protection gear, as well as a front attachment point for advanced customisation and easy integration of accessories such as badge holders and headlamps. The Quantum series complies with European standards for wildland firefighting helmets (EN 16471), technical rescue helmets (EN 16473), and Quantum Cabrio also meets radial impact protection standards covered by mountaineering helmets (EN 12492).

DFW Airport Upgrades with Six Striker Volterras

News Desk /

Oshkosh Airport Products, a division of Pierce Manufacturing Inc., a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation , announces Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has issued a purchase order for six Striker® Volterra™ 6×6 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) hybrid electric vehicles. Sold through Siddons-Martin Emergency Group, this purchase amplifies the airport’s eco-friendly initiatives currently underway and allows the DFW Airport Fire Department to upgrade its full Oshkosh Airport Products fleet. Currently operating (eight) Striker 8x8s, the DFW Airport Fire Department is now transitioning to an optimized fleet of (six) Striker Volterra 6x6s complemented by (two) Striker 6X6s each with a Snozzle® High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET), and (two) Striker 4×4 rapid intervention trucks. A key motive behind this significant fleet revamp is the new foam standards, combined with the FAA’s fluorine-free aircraft firefighting foam transition plan. The airport’s forward-thinking decision ensures consistent fleet capability, mitigating the complexities of operating vehicles with differing foam types. Daniel White, Chief of the DFW Airport Fire Department, explained, “Our choice to transition to the new Striker Volterra ARFF hinges on performance. These vehicles are faster, more agile, and quieter as compared to our current fleet, benefiting from both carbon and diesel savings. While our commitment to supporting the goal of net-zero emissions remains robust, functionality and safety of our personnel remain paramount.” The Striker Volterra 6×6 comes equipped with an Oshkosh-patented hybrid-electric drivetrain, featuring an electro-mechanical infinitely variable transmission. This enables zero-emissions operation through the integrated onboard batteries and uninterrupted power supply by coupling with the internal combustion engine for pumping and drive systems. DFW Airport Fire Department’s new Striker Volterra ARFF vehicles will feature: Acceleration from 0 – 50 mph (0 to 80 kph) in under 25 seconds – a 28 percent improved acceleration compared to standard diesel Striker models when fully loaded TAK-4® all-wheel independent suspension High-pressure fire extinguishing reel, tailored for challenging aircraft zones such as galleys or cargo holds – developed by EJ Metals in conjunction with Oshkosh Airport Products, this advanced system provides precise and efficient fire suppression 3,000-gallon (11,356-liter) water tank 420-gallon (1,590-liter) foam tank 2,000 gpm (7,570 lpm) water pump 500 lb. (250 kg) dry chemical powder system Addressing potential challenges with charging infrastructure, Chief White said, “Our ARFF stations will soon undergo modernization. While the Striker Volterra ARFF vehicles come with onboard chargers, we’re ensuring sufficient power delivery. Our new stations will be future-proofed with 480v power service, offering adaptability for evolving charging needs.” The DFW Airport Fire Department helps to oversee the safety of more than 70 million airline passengers per year, with more than 180 officers focused on aircraft rescue training, fire prevention, emergency medical services, and structural fire-rescue response. “Integrating the Striker Volterra ARFF hybrid electric vehicles into its operations is an instrumental way the DFW Airport Fire Department demonstrates global leadership in green airport operations and sets the standard for ARFF emergency response in the 21st century,” said Travis Ownby, sales specialist with Siddons-Martin Emergency Group. “We look forward to our continued partnership in delivering exceptional training, streamlined deployment, and steadfast service commitment. Our aim is to guarantee the Striker Volterra ARFF vehicles not only meet, but surpass the rigorous demands of the DFW Airport Fire Department and all modern firefighting teams.” To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.
