Unlike most places we don’t get any commission from the things we suggest, so go ahead and browse. Things we recently liked:
Why we like it: Our department recently gave these out as rewards and prizes and it’s a great handy tool to keep in one’s bunker pockets. It features cutting blades strong enough to break stubborn battery cables, a gas wrench to shut off fault valves, a spanner wrench (you never want to run back to a truck for that) and a tool to break safety glass too. $59.99.
EMI Flashback Five™ Light LED Baton
Why we like it: We here at Firefighter-EMT.com are keen on safety, and there’s no critical point for safety than at night. This multicolor LED baton can serve as a tool to direct traffic, or you can keep it on your dashboard for a quick and easy way to part traffic as you respond to a call. It’s durable and only needs 4AA batteries. $37.99.
Why we like it: A jump suit always gives you that professional look while on an EMS call, and at this unbeatable price you wouldn’t mind letting it go on a particularly bloody or hazardous-waste filled call. And with 14 pockets, the most important thing you’ll have to worry about it is not whether or not you have the tool you need, but where. Was $84.99, now on clearance for $19.99
Why we like it: Heavy fire gloves don’t come in handy with car rescues, and this particular pair is rugged, tough and built to last, with impact-absorbing gel for more comfort and heavy duty stitching. And with a blow-out price of $23.99, you really can’t beat it without compromising quality or reliability.
Why we like it: Asides from being a cool EMS blue with the insignia in the middle, the Smith & Wesson name has been known for strong, reliable and precise devices. At $39.99, it’s a perfect gift for that emergency reponder you have in mind. (They’ll need it for pulse and respirations.) Buy it today at KoGoods or at select stores on eBay.
Signal™ Mini Phantom Max LED Dash Light
Why we like it: At $99.99, this mother of a light bar in LED is bound to get the attention of the most inattentive drivers out there, and with 25% more intensity than previous editions, it’s asking to be bought. Available in PA-state safe blue.
WACK-PACK “Deluxe”: with Garrity LED Life Light.
Why we like it: You really can’t beat the price, and with what you get, you really won’t mind it if that stray flame destroys your light, because by then you’ll have had to use it plenty of times. $16.99 at the Fire Store.
