OCALA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
REV Group (NYSE:REVG), a $2.3 billion manufacturer of industry-leading
specialty vehicle brands, has launched an enhanced suite of options for
E-ONE, KME and Ferrara fire trucks, designed to help mitigate
contaminants brought inside the cab and to promote a better environment
for firefighters.
Having a variety of choices allows fire departments to select from
multiple features for their trucks that can help crews remove
contaminants from gear and keep equipment out of the cab. These features
include:
-
Use of seating surfaces that promote a cleaner environment inside the
cab, including vinyl, which is easy to wipe down, or fabric with an
anti-microbial and anti-pathogenic protective barrier
-
Use of non-SCBA seats to help prevent contamination from air packs
entering the cab
-
External transverse compartment across the back of the cab to store
SCBA’s on pull-out boards for easy access. Transverse body compartment
configurations are available to do the same that can be used with
custom or commercial chassis products
-
Compartments over the front wheels on custom cabs with exterior access
only for storing bunker gear
-
HEPA air filtration unit for inside a custom cab that will circulate
the air, removing particulates. Having a separate HEPA unit results in
no loss of performance with the cab HVAC system
-
A ¾ inch GHMT (garden hose) outlet on the pump panel, plumbed from the
pump, provides a pressure regulated and temperature controlled water
supply for gross decontamination of firefighters
-
Integrated system for automated dispensing of disinfectant inside the
cab, reducing first responder exposure to harmful pathogens. This
built-in design provides consistent and reliable delivery of
disinfectant
REV Group Fire brands E-ONE, Ferrara and KME are committed to
engineering and building fire trucks that can help prevent firefighters
from being exposed to contaminated SCBA’s, PPE and other equipment that
are often stored inside the cabs of fire apparatus today.
“Building on our legacy of cab structural integrity, and our structural
safety factor on aerials, this suite of options and technologies is the
next step to ensure we are providing the safest trucks in the industry
to firefighters,” said Jay Johnson, Vice President of Product Management
& Marketing at REV Group’s Fire Division.
