Custom Apparatus Cab
E-ONE has debuted the redesigned Quest custom cab featuring improved ergonomics that can be seen and felt with lower and wider cab steps allowing for easier, smoother egress. Visibility is improved by lowering the center console and raising the overhead console. Officer-side kick plates now feature recesses to create up to 346 cubic inches of additional legroom. The rear-facing crew seats were designed with custom storage areas beneath the seat for personal and mission-critical items. New options include: severe-duty or ABS interior; power or manual windows, locks and pedals; and customizable buttons on the steering wheel. Red ambient lighting in the cab improves visibility for the crew without distracting the driver.

Gas Detectors
MSA has introduced the ALTAIR 2X platform of gas detectors that incorporate XCell Sensor Technology. The ALTAIR 2XP gas detector with XCell Pulse Technology delivers a stand-alone bump test without the need for calibration accessories or bottled calibration gas. The ALTAIR 2XT gas detector eliminates the need for a second detector by using XCell Two-Tox Sensors that detect two gases on distinct sensor channels. For the ALTAIR 2X single-gas detector, by miniaturizing the sensors’ controlling electronics and placing them inside the sensor using MSA’s proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design, MSA XCell Sensors offer superior stability, accuracy and sensor life.

NFIRS Reporting Software
EMERGENCY REPORTING has released its new Analytics module, based around staffing and response-time analysis. It is flexible enough to allow agencies to assess their effectiveness using the NFPA 1710 or 1720 standards of cover or by setting their own custom benchmarks. The powerful tool provides in-depth analysis of departmental effectiveness by letting users analyze specific dates, times, shifts, zones, incident types and more. Using this data, emergency response providers will be able to improve efficiency in their agencies and even defend their budgets against cuts to staffing and equipment. The Analytics module will be offered free-of-charge to current Emergency Reporting customers with the Fire package, EMS package or Fire & EMS package.
