Technologies for High-Rise and Big Box Structures

Air Standpipes

Millions of square feet are being consumed in Rural America by high-rise and big box  strutures.  the solution to land scarcity in metropolitan areas is high- and mid-rise construction. Whether it is a distribution center or a high rise – a firefighter’s air bottle provides 30 minutes of life to do their jobs,” said Mark Fessenden, President of the FAC. “We need to do better than that; 30 minutes is nothing when the fire is on the 25th floor or in the middle of 1,000,000 square feet.” The air standpipe system is an absolute solution for emergency response in these complex structures.

Lifeline Firehose technology offers first responders a redundant source of continuous breathable air for firefighting, confined space entry, and dangerous environments. Using patented coupler design technology, the company’s products, tools, and technology allow firefighting personnel to never run out of air, ensuring their safety and saving lives.

Arctic All Power Mobile Air Trailer

With a deeper understanding of the health hazards posed by toxicants at fire scenes, the importance of safe, clean, readily available breathing air cannot be overstated. Recognizing this critical need, Arctic Compressor (Booth 5557) partnered with Fathom® E-Power systems to introduce the Arctic All Power Mobile Air Trailer, a groundbreaking solution posed to revolutionize breathing air supply logistics for firefighting operations.

Building landscapes are changing throughout the world, but firefighters are not. They are human beings with a limited air supply to rescue and protect. The FAC’s ultimate mission is to ensure the industry continues to advance and support firefighter air systems and technology.
