Remove hazardous materials from your ambulance: switch to LED PowerFlares
The PowerFlare is a simple and rugged safety illumination device, designed to be used instead of flares. Each PowerFlare Unit is about the size of a hockey puck and strong enough to withstand being run over by motor vehicles. The PowerFlare is a versatile tool in the fire service. Its uses span from landing and safety zones to water supply marking and SCBA illumination. In any application, the PowerFlare System proves itself by saving you money.

Ensure thorough decontamination for a maximum number of patients in a minimum amount of time
Reeves Decon Systems use state-of-the-art shelter and decon technology that can withstand extreme weather and temperature conditions. Each lightweight decontamination system comes standard with a transport-style duffel bag, repair kit, push poles, wind lines and a steel pin stake set. Deployed or taken down by only 2-4 personnel within a matter of minutes without the need for special tools or dealing with loose parts, the lightweight decontamination systems are based on the patented Deployable Rapid Assembly Shelter (DRASH), a free-standing, self-supporting structure that requires no power or air to stand up.

Quickly recognize toxic syndromes - take the AHLS course for Toxic Terrorism
The AHLS Toxic Terrorism program is a 5-hour, 1-day course. This course is derived from the AHLS Provider course and is intended for those who need the information, but are unable to attend a 2-day Provider course. EMS providers and hospitals have found this course essential for their staff. With this course, you will be able to rapidly assess toxic terrorism patients, recognize toxic syndromes, identify and administer specific antidotes and apply the poisoning treatment paradigm. Continuing education credits are provided for this course. Learn more at www.ahls.org.
