February is American Heart Month

It takes heart to serve your community, keep yours strong!  

February is known as American Heart Month – an observance that aims to bring awareness to heart health. 

Every year, more firefighters die in the line of duty because of heart attacks due to overexertion and heat stress than any other cause. It’s important your department wears the right gear for the right call to mitigate the risk of cardiac failure.

Take proactive measures to know your health and what you can do to keep your heart strong for those who depend on you.

Lightweight PPE in Action 

“Alternative PPE is definitely a good thing for us. South Georgia is extremely hot down here, in the summer. So, you have more of a chance of having a heat injury in full structural gear than you would in alternative PPE that aren't so thick, but still gives you that same protection." - Lieutenant Jonathan Sangster

Fire Protection: What Matters Most

When entering the A-side of a burning home, as the structure's integrity crumbles, you aren't thinking about how Fire-Dex turnout gear is made with the highest quality materials in the industry. You aren't thinking about how our innovative TECGEN71 gear combats heat stress. You aren't thinking about how it is 70% more flexible or 4lbs lighter. You aren't thinking about these things because there are other things on your mind.
