Control The Door!
One of the most important function of first due
companies is to ensure the control of the door. Should a hoseline be caught
under a door before charging and the door is closed this delays the
application of water on the fire. Moreover, firefighter's can become trapped
behind that door.
A Versatile, Must
Have Tool Glowedge
works great in any number of ways to maintain that door control. Glowedge
also glows thereby indicating to the firefighter conducting an aggressive
search or advancing a hoseline, the exact location of that doorway the
firefighter entered through. They are light and small and several can fit in
the firefighters pocket or even better affixed to the firefighters helmet.
Simple to Use in Any Door
All the firefighter needs to do is quickly expose
Glowedge to his flashlight and it will remain illuminated. If the
firefighter keeps Glowedge in his helmet it will be exposed to enough light
to keep it glowing for a while.
Once glowing, Glowedge can be
placed in the jamb by the hinge, over the top of the door or under the door
as traditional wedges are used. Glowedge even works on screen doors with
piano hinges
Glowedge Has Your
Back! Glowedge stays
there like a sentry keeping watch over the doorway, while at the same time
pointing the way out.
Glowedges unique material and
design allow it to be reused over and over and won't rot or fall apart like
traditional wood wedges, it won't even crush under the weight of a heavy
door. The design of Glowedge allows it to stay in place and maintains a
positive connection when place in the jamb even if the door if bumped by
firefighters going in and out of the structure.
Kept in the firefighters helmet, Glowedge even affords
visibility to the firefighter. Ordinary reflective trim relies upon
reflected light for the firefighter to be seen. Glowedge glows itself and
doesn't rely upon a cars headlights to reflect from it.
Thermal Imager
The Glowedge can be seen using a thermal imager.
Latent heat from charging allows the Glowedge to bee seen with a different
heat signature than surrounding materials. The unique shape of the Glowedge
makes it easily recognized in your viewfinder. |
