F10 Fire Fighting Helmet
A7A & A10 Paramedic Helmet
R6/R7H Rescue Helmets
The Pacific F10 MKV Structual Fire
Fighting system gives the fire fighter
and professional rescuer the most upto-date and modern form of head
protection in a very comfortable,
lightweight and wearable package.
The F10 MKV offers the perfect
combination of safety, balance and
wearer comfort. A jet-style design
ensures that the F10 MKV is not only
functional but looks good too.
The Pacific A7A Fire Ambulance
helmet has become the benchmark in
the ambulance and paramedic sector
in the UK. The new A10 MKV helmet
offers the most up-to-date and
modern form of head protection in a
very comfortable, lightweight and
wearable package.
The Pacific Rescue Helmet range
represent the most versatile and
configurable helmets of their type
available. They offer the most up-todate and modern form of head
protection in a very comfortable,
lightweight and wearable package.
®
Use of Kevlar composites also means
that the helmets last and last. Tests
prove helmets that have been in
service for over 10 years still pass
stringent EN 443 testing.
Both use fibre-reinforced materials,
which means that Pacific helmets have
less mass than those manufactured
from thermo plastics. A lightweight
helmet ensures all users, whether
male or female, can concentrate on
their job rather than neck ache. Its
EN 166 integral full face visor fully
protects the wearer’s face but when
not in use retracts within the shell thus
preventing damage from scratching.
Manufactured using a fibreglass
reinforced composite shell, Pacific
Rescue Helmets provide the perfect
combination of safety, balance and
wearer comfort. Options such as
adjustable air vents, neck protectors
and goggle straps mean that your
helmet can be designed to be as
versatile as your job is varied.

Representing the latest and most modern development in firefighting gloves
in recent years, the FX1 MAX Glove uses PBI MAX - the strongest and most
flexible outer shell fabric in the world.
A unique solution to firefighter hand protection, FX1 MAX Gloves feature
pre-curved fingers and hand shape offering unmatched dexterity and fit
whilst delivering extremely high levels of protection against radiant and
contact heat, mechanical protection and cut / abrasion resistance.
The FX1 MAX Gloves, thanks to their construction from PBI MAX which
has three times the filament rip stopping power of other fabrics, offers the
firefighter an excellent washable replacement to leather gloves.
FX1 MAX Gloves avoid the stretching associated with leather as well as the
danger of rapid shrinkage in high heat.
Finger tips, inner fingers and palm areas are protected with high strength
silicone coated Kevlar® reinforcement to further enhance the FX1 MAX
performance during firefighting.
A significant advantage of the FX1 MAX Glove is the fact that it can be
laundered along with the rest of the turnout gear.

CHIBA Rescue Gloves
Chiba has a long reputation of 150 years as manufacturer of the best work gloves available on
the market. Chiba makes everything from baseball gloves to winter sport gloves to fire gloves.
Chiba gloves are lightweight and dexterous. One of the key features of the gloves are their unique "fourchette" finger style. This
special finger style allows your fingers to lay naturally closer together resulting in a more comfortable wear and better gripping.
Chiba understands that firefighters deal a lot with water and how important it is to keep your hands dry. All fire gloves are
completely waterproof and also protect against blood borne pathogens. That can be life saving for a fire fighter or rescuer.
Chiba gloves use Antistatic Nomex, Aramid and Para-Aramid fabrics. The materials make Chiba gloves long lasting even under the
pressures of fire and rescue work.
Chiba Extrication gloves are cut proof, waterproof and protect against blood borne pathogens. Using Kevlar® and Nomex®, special
attention is paid to the design of thumb areas, knuckles, finger tips, bridge of palm, nerve palm, and carpal tunnel / ulnar nerve.

Blowhard Battery PPV Fans
BH-20 Compact PPV Fan
The BH20 is a compact, portable PPV fan that can be deployed quickly due
to its dual power source - built in Li-ion rechargeable battery or external
mains power. It can be used effectively when no mains power is available
and is much quicker to setup than conventional fans, allowing firefighters to
enter a building more rapidly.
The ingenious design allows the product to be folded away, taking up half
the space of traditional fans. With variable-speed motor control, the BH-20
can double as a PPV and ventilation fan, saving valuable storage space and
reducing costs.
The BH-20 outperforms PPV fans rated at higher CFM. The ability to drive
ventilation by building pressure in the structure results in air movement
equivalent to most 15,000 CFM rated fans in real world conditions.
Features
+
Starts instantly on battery power - no wasted time searching for
mains outlet
+
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery provides between 25-180 minutes of
operation
+
Sets up between 2-6 minutes faster than comparable fans

Multi-Cut Fire & Rescue Saw
Designed and build specifically for
the fire rescue and emergency
services to deliver reliable
performance on time, every time.
CE970 Rotary Rescue Saw
This rotary rescue saw using new X
TORQ® technology utilises Dual Intakes
that splits the airflow into one fresh-air
stream and one clean-air stream for the
fuel-air mixture. The fresh-air intake forms
a barrier that delays the fresh fuel mix from
entering the engine while assisting in
exhausting the burned gases. Then the
fuel-air mixture enters the engine, resulting
in more power, higher torque, 75% less
emissions and 20% more fuel economy
than conventional 2-stroke engines.
Petrol Powered Concrete Saw
This powerful saw can cut reinforced
concrete up to 40cm thick. Unlike
hydraulic saws, no bulky power pack is
needed and there are no trip hazards
from hoses. Unlike with rotary saws,
there is no dust as it is suppressed with
a water flow.
RHYNO Windshield Cutter
The RHYNO Windshield Cutter is a unique extrication tool used
to rapidly remove vehicle glass to gain access to injured occupants.
Windscreen, passenger and rear windows can be removed in
under 30 seconds for quick access to patients or for further
rescue operations.
When cutting a vehicle
windscreen, glass debris
is concentrated on the
outside of the vehicle
and falls down.
Airborne dust is
minimised and any
vehicle occupant is
protected.
