Viejas Fire Department: San Diego County, California The Viejas Fire Department is just 15 minutes from the city limits of San Diego. The Department services the Viejas Tribal Reservation and its large tourist, hotel, casino, and outlet centers with only 15 paid firefighters. When faced with the decision of purchasing a new engine, Captain Jim Bingham was looking for updated technology and a way to combat retention and recruitment issues. When he found out about SAM, Captain Bingham responded, “We liked everything about it. This technology is something we need - it is the latest state of the art improvement.” A positive benefit to the Viejas Department has been the compact nature of SAM, which allowed the Department to save room for life-saving equipment in rural environments. Captain Bingham further elaborates on the positive aspects of SAM, “This system allows our engineer to do other tasks, without running to a different side of the truck. It is state of the art, saves time, saves money, and saves space. I like to say, ‘why would you ever get a Tesla with roll-up windows?’ This is one of the most innovative improvements I have seen in my 40+ years of firefighting experience.” Read their full story here: https://lnkd.in/gAqEPTkB #samflows #generationsam #idexfiresafety #firefighting #firefighters #firedept #firetruck #firefightingsolutions #firefightingtechnology #sandiego #california #cali #viejasfiredept #viejas

New Athens Fire Protection District: New Athens, IL On the banks of a tributary to the Mississippi River, New Athens Fire Protection District is a well-staffed department with volunteers prepared to stick around for years to come. However, because of how small New Athens is, firefighters must be prepared with all the response equipment on board as another vehicle may not ever arrive. Because of this, with their new engine, Assistant Chief Jake Owens was looking to optimize storage space. SAM allowed the department to double compartment storage compared to their previous engine, without increasing the length of the truck. Further, SAM, known as the ‘talking fire truck’ to the kids in town, has allowed New Athens to become a stronger community connector. Even with a well-staffed department, SAM has brought creativity and ingenuity, allowing the team to, “... reinvent who the truck engineer is and what they can do since they are no longer married to the pump.” Learn more about their story here: https://lnkd.in/gGDTt7iy #samflows #generationsam #idexfiresafety #newathens #illinois #samtruck #firefightingsolutions #firefighting #firefighter #firefighterlife #firedepartment

Lewiston Fire Company: Lewiston, NY Just north of Niagara Falls sits the town of Lewiston, with a population of 8,000. The Lewiston Fire Company is a well-staffed and well-equipped department that needed a new engine. With hesitation from some of the seasoned team members, the department converged on a decision that included SAM, but also kept the manual control valves as a backup. In four years, the department has never once used the manual valves. Former Chiefs Myers and Christman highlighted the primary benefit of SAM being stable water pressure, even with multiple lines running. Further, by controlling the pump pressures remotely with the tablet, Myers and Christman gleefully reported that, “SAM essentially gives us an extra person at the scene of every fire.” Read more about Lewiston's story here: https://lnkd.in/gd5gQFDE

South Hero Volunteer Fire Department: South Hero, VT Just 30 minutes from the Canadian border, South Hero Volunteer Fire Department is a fully rural department serving 1,600 individuals in the wintertime and a growing population of 5,000 in the summertime. With a small committee created to purchase a new truck, each member had their own priorities. Some focused on decreasing the number of staff needed to respond to fires, others wanted a more high-tech, future-focused solution, while Captain Reed himself was looking for a fool-proof, long-term investment engine. During the 7-year long search, SAM was the only system that checked all the boxes for each committee member. After receiving their new SAM-enabled truck, South Hero VFD has discovered countless unforeseen benefits including its incredible drafting ability, equity in pump training and operation for all volunteers, self-diagnosis capabilities, and a failsafe solution in high-stress environments. When asked what he would say to departments looking for a new engine, Captain Reed responded, “You don’t have to follow tradition with your new truck… When looking at SAM, don't envision replacing your old engine, but rather imagine all the things a future truck could be.” Read more about South Hero VFD and SAM here: https://lnkd.in/gA-3nYFr #idexfiresafety #generationsam #samflows #firetruck #firefighting #firefighterlife #firefighters #southhero #vermont #volunteerfiredepartment #vfd #firefightingsolutions #firefightingtechnology

Reedley Fire Department: Fresno County, CA Located 30 minutes east of Fresno, CA, the Reedley Fire Department consists of 3 full time employees and 35 volunteer firefighters. With a relatively large team, the department was looking for a creative solution to decrease the number of accidents and falls as firefighters got on and off the trucks. With the best option Chief Watson could find, his staff was still climbing up to 7ft off the ground to reach the hose bed atop the engine. After speaking with the engineers at IDEX Fire & Safety, because the SAM system eliminates mechanics and condenses space within the engine, the Reedley Fire Department was able to find a solution in which the hoses would be only 4ft 10in off the ground. The SAM system decreases the likelihood of injury to their employees and volunteers as they previously had to climb the engine to retrieve hoses. Reedley’s Battalion Chief, Justin Watson, noted a surprising upside of being the first in the region to adopt the SAM system: increased collaboration and relationship building. SAM has become an important outreach and networking tool for the department, allowing the team to train others on the state-of-the-art system. SAM has transformed the Reedley Fire Department in all areas - team culture, training, outreach, efficiency, and risk management.

18 MÄDELS BEIM LUKAS GIRLS DAY In vielen technischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Berufen arbeiten vor allem Männer. Der Girls‘ Day soll das ändern und die Mädels beim Schnuppertag in den Unternehmen für gerade diese "untypischen" Berufszweige begeistern, denn Spartendenken war gestern! LUKAS war jedenfalls begeistert über die große Beteiligung eurerseits und sagt DANKESCHÖN für euer Vertrauen. Aber ehrlich: Wo kann man schon mit so coolen Geräten selbst schneiden und sich beraten lassen wie technische Hilfeleistung funktioniert. #girlsday #lukashydraulik #idexfireandsafety #feuerwehr #technischehilfeleistung
