when conditions are hazardous firefighters trust the survivor from Streamlight and now they have even more reason to trust the survivor to light their ways at Streamlight we take great pride and understanding how our lights are used and listening to the feedback of those who use them their experiences have inspired us to find innovative ways to make the most popular right-angle flashlight even better we started by redesigning the light from the inside out we've reengineered the survivor with a new optic design that has enabled us to make the lens cap 50% shorter but a smaller profile is meaningless if it's self reprises performance we didn't in fact the new survivor still boasts the piercingly bright heat that has made this light invaluable it features 175 lumens a 41,000 Candela or a beam that cuts through the smoke and trouble-free Li 450 yards on high for the runtime of three and a half hours set it to low and get an impressive 15 hours of runtime at 60 lumens with 14,000 Candela that sends the beam over 260 yards down range or select moonlight mode for low-level lighting that runs for 20 continuous days it even offers a flash mode that can signal for up to 8 hours the innovative optic design has also allowed us to introduce our new smoke cutter system for greater user customization of the beam pattern both our black and amber smoke cutter plugs focus the beam for an even tighter sharper pattern while the amber flood also reduces eye fatigue caused by glare to help keep the light pointed where you need it we've improved our clip system creating a stronger spring-loaded clip with built-in d-wing that easily attaches to belt and while reducing unwanted movement but with all the changes some important features have stayed the same the new rechargeable survivor fits all existing survivor Chargers it's also available with an optional alkaline battery pack so you're never caught without backup power when you need it most the next generation survivor from Streamlight smaller legs stronger cliff greater customization options with the performance you've grown to trust for those who respond when I light it on the line Leatherman is proud to introduce the revolutionary Raptor medical shears for military and civilian emergency medical responders the Raptor medical shears is a high-quality state-of-the-art replacement for traditional disposable shears and in true Leatherman fashion it incorporates a number of other tools specifically for first responders it comes with a strap cutter it also has a slot for opening the o2 tanks and has an innovative easy-to-use ring cutter doesn't have the twisting all you have to do is clip it in cuts right through right and it also has the glass breaker on a Kindle the team at Leatherman work closely with Special Operations medic firefighters and EMTs personnel to find out what these professionals wanted in Leatherman designed Sears with that feedback the engineers designed a high performance tool built to withstand the rigors of daily use when a medic is on side the situation is already bad so you don't want to make it worse by having a cheap fear that's going to fail and break when you use it that's why I let have been decided to make the Raptor to give the quality of a product that's going to work every time for a lifetime of use it's got a lot of meat to it it feels durable I don't have any worries about it breaking or become and go it work through a lot that we put it through the testing out here Swatt night absolutely love it too it does the function of about five tools in one and does each one of those jobs so well it's truly an amazing tool a lot of my guys at the fire station we're impressed with this tool size instead of carrying many tools we just have to carry this one tool built with the superior 420hc stainless steel the serrated raptor shears will make quick work of various materials and medical supplies and they can be taken apart easily for thorough cleaning a lanyard attachment gives you a third carry option and the zytle handles not only provide extra grip when wet but allow for comfortable use in hot or cold environments another advantage of the Leatherman wrapper is you can make a compact by simply pushing the two button rotating the handles down you can make it happen side even with a wrapper closed you still have access to the strap cutter the Oxman wrench the carbide glass break and the lanyard attachment a lot of times small pocket tools are not easily accessible with fire fighting gloves this tool was easy to operate with my expectation gloves my firefighting gloves and my ems look once you put the Raptor on your kit you need to prize how often you actually use it it is excellent for all aspects of mission prep and everyday usage as well created with input from professionals in the field and brought to light by the multi-function experts at Leatherman the Raptor is built for the most demanding conditions when every second count Falkon line of harnesses is designed specifically for rescue professionals developed for Rapid Intervention choose one of three models based on the type of terrain the harness features a semi-rigid and narrow waist belt and leg loops to strike the ideal balance between comfort and lightweight the lateral attachment points also serve to reduce weight and bulkiness all falcon harnesses are easy to adjust by using the double bag self locking buckles the phone line leg loops can also be fine-tuned for a perfect fit the gear loops and carry tool slots allow rescue professionals to efficiently rack and organize gear on the waist belt the falcon line of harnesses includes three models the Falcon is designed for rescue operations that require remaining suspended for long periods of time the medal ventral attachment point distributes weight effectively between the waist belts and leg loops the falcon descent increases efficiency when ascending a rope the dual ventral attachment loops allow for a much lower positioning of the Kuril attender as for the Falcon Mountain this harness is designed for mountain rescues the textile tie-in points facilitate climbing technique and overall mobility Falcons lightweight harnesses for greater efficiency as a professional firefighter we are charged to risk our lives in many situations to save savable lives during that time you have to place yourself at risk on occasion you place yourself at a greater risk than you assume and become trapped except inside a structure on fire conducting asserting conditions change rapidly it's a high-risk situation our conditions as such they cannot get back to the means they came in back in February 2005 the FDNY contacted Petzl to see if her gris-gris belay device used on the sports side could be used with 7.5 mm unit rope and become the descent control device for their personal safety system Tim Kelly and his committee worked with our product engineers at Petzl to create a new device that met their specification now called the EXO the EXO personal escape system is made up of an anchor hook with a hitching slot a 50 foot seven point five millimeter and technolo rope an EXO a personal Escape descent control device as well as a Nomex carry bag that is fastened to the firefighters harness today there are 40,000 firefighters who carry the system from 300 different fire departments from around the world and we have been informed that the system has been deployed in several fire ground situations the EXO is the most tested and carried personal escape system in the world the benefits of the XOR the payout which was a firefighter crawling from a remote anchor to the point of exit of the room getting out over the edge and then rappelling on it just releasing the handle firefighter is able to stop at a given point if they had to aid in their own rescue they could certainly do that when you're under duress when your life is on the line you default your lowest level of common and consistent training so the key with the XO is it gives you the ability to perform skills when you're fine motor functions have deteriorated under duress or because of the environment easy to use quick to use and allows a smooth and rapid horizontal movement as well as egress when you're outside the window we have 12,000 firefighters we needed to see that every firefighter with a high degree of confidence could deploy and execute the PSS and perform a successful bailout under high stress conditions it is a part of my turnout gear and it can valuable I don't go anywhere within a structure on fire without the XO attack you might die just knowing that you have something in the event it goes very bad having that PSS for me personally gives a high degree of confidence that have given that I could get out the window and live another day
