Featured at ESS
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Firefighters can
face different challenges on the job every day and may need a
variety of equipment to help keep them protected and safe on each
call. From the gear they wear to the technology they use, MSA
Safety, Inc. (NYSE: MSA) has the expertise and solutions to help
firefighters and fire brigades protect themselves and their
communities. These broad range of MSA Safety fire safety solutions
will be on display at the upcoming Emergency Services Show (ESS) in
Birmingham, held the 18 and 19
September.
Featured this year at ESS will be MSA Bristol Managed
Services, part of the MSA Safety Services & Solutions
portfolio. An end-to-end solution helping to promote first
responder safety, MSA Bristol Managed Services offers total
management and logistical support for the care and maintenance of
fire protective clothing (FPC) and firefighter personal protective
equipment (PPE). Bristol Managed Services associates have developed
intensive repair routines based on years of experience and proven
results, while adhering to key standards covering cleaning and
inspection in the United
Kingdom.
Providing care for more than 50,000 firefighters across the
United Kingdom, Bristol Managed
Services has three service centres and handles all services
in-house, providing control and traceability throughout the entire
cleaning and repair process. As a FPC manufacturer and service
provider, having all operations in-house provides MSA Bristol with
the unique ability to find solutions and quickly respond to unique
situations or incidents in the fire service, helping to keep
customers safe and their equipment functional.
"We help to keep our customers and their teams safe, here in the
United Kingdom and throughout
Europe and the Middle East," said Dave Howells, President, MSA International. "We've been leading the way
in driving advancements in safety solutions by focusing on
customer-driven innovation. Throughout our history, this has been
one of our main focuses. We remain committed to this and will
continue working alongside our customers to help find or develop
the solutions that address their challenges effectively."
MSA Safety will have the full line of Bristol fire protective clothing on display at
ESS this year, including:
- MSA Bristol Rescue Stretch: Bristol's newest style, it integrates one of
the industry's latest innovations, the lightweight GORE-TEX
CROSSTECH® PYRAD® stretch fabric, and is
flexible, waterproof, wind proof, and has blood-borne pathogen
protection;
- Bristol X4
Wildland™ Garment: Designed to be worn for longer
periods of time in hot environments, it offers lightweight comfort
to help firefighters in situations where wearing a structural suit
could be too inefficient, and;
- Bristol X4
TRW-Hybrid™ Suit: Designed for the evolving demands
of technical rescue teams and wildland firefighters alike, it can
transition from technical rescue to wildland firefighting
applications.
ESS attendees will also see the latest enhancements to
MSA's Connected Firefighter Platform, an ecosystem of
hardware and software technologies that help fire departments
better manage PPE and related data associated with use and
maintenance. This includes the M1 self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA); the MSA HUB, a wireless, cloud-connected
gateway for on-scene and remote monitoring; and
FireGrid software.
MSA Safety will be highlighting the impact and value of the data
that is available from the Connected Firefighter Platform
and how data transmitted directly from the M1 SCBA to the cloud is
integrated with FireGrid to help enhance safety, inform on-scene
decision making, and make remote monitoring and post-event analysis
easier. FireGrid Inventory Management capabilities will
also be featured this year, showing how FireGrid can digitize tasks
like equipment compliance checks and inspection schedules for SCBA
and fire helmets. Inventory Manager can address equipment
management challenges, eliminate paperwork and make information
easily accessible in a fire department's FireGrid account. This
helps departments better track equipment location and usage, and
manage equipment cleaning, inspection and maintenance, which
ultimately enhances equipment longevity.
"With our Connected Firefighter Platform, we're continually
working to provide valuable insights to firefighters and fire
brigades without adding complexity or getting in the way," said
Bob Apel, MSA Safety Executive
Director of Fire Service and Digital Experience. "At ESS, we're
looking forward to having conversations with our customers and
showcasing how our solutions can help them make progress toward
their safety goals and make compliance easier. We know the fire
service market and environment are constantly evolving, and we are
continually looking at ways to enhance our capabilities to bring
innovative solutions to the fire service to help keep firefighters
safe and ready to go."
MSA Safety will also be featuring its Gallet brand of fire
helmets at ESS, including the GALLET® F2XR Rescue
Helmet. Designed to meet a multitude of challenges, the GALLET
F2XR rescue helmet is certified for wildland firefighting,
technical rescue, urban search and rescue, climbing, and water
rescue, providing firefighters a versatile option that can help to
enhance their safety during operations.
