This shield is quality built and appears to be ready to hold up for years to come. JP uses two 8/9 oz. pieces of leather on their fronts. Mine has recessed areas which are stamped and hand painted. I couldn't be more pleased with the design and quality of this helmet front!

Scott Tenney, a career firefighter/paramedic has come up with a series of car care products named Element Armor. A couple of months ago he sent me some of "The Game Changer" which is a spray on/spray off vehicle wax. I used it almost immediately on my jeep and have been happy with the quality and protection it gave my jeep since. When I give the jeep a wash, I can still tell it has wax on it because the water beads up. 

While this may not be the first right angle light offered to the fire service, it is certainly one of the better ones because it is lightweight and offers many more options with the tilting head, downward floodlight, strobe, etc. 

The bag is designed perfectly, and the craftsmanship seems to be top-notch. The design of this bag will make it useful in many applications. A great gift idea for any firefighter or firefighter wife or child.

For me, the reason for carrying a set of Channellock rescue tools is two-fold. I always have some cutters on me in a time of need (whatever that might be (including a spanner wrench). The other main reason is we run a lot of car wrecks. One of my roles at wrecks is to assess the vehicles involved and disconnect the battery if need be. My cutters come in handy if I cannot reach the terminals to loosen them, I simply cut the wire to get the job done quickly.

I had the pleasure of getting a personal one-on-one demonstration of MSA's new G1 SCBA. This SCBA offers innovation and comfort. If your department is looking at new SCBA systems, this MSA G1 should be on the top of your list for getting your hands on and seeing what MSA has done to make their SCBA's top of the line.
