This page is an online version of our printed newspaper (printed now and again since the early 80s) presenting fire industry related commentary articles by industry experts on topics of interest to our customers, new product releases (both from FRC as well as affiliated manufacturers), and links to other interesting features of our website.
The posting of commentary articles is intended as a service to FRC friends and customers. FRC disclaims all responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information contained in them.
Posts appear here in reverse chronological order (the most recent posts at the top). You can simply scroll down to read them, or select something of interest from the navigation menus at left. Commenting is enabled, so if you would like to share your opinion look for a comment box after each post. However, comments must be approved by FRC staff before they will appear.

Safer Search Device System
March 10th, 2008The Safer Search Device System aids in conducting team searches when conditions such as building construction, layout, and/or inherent hazards are beyond the scope of the ordinary search techniques. It includes a search rope with direction and distance markers every 25 feet, a stuff bag, and the Safer Search Device (SSD) that slides along the rope and automatically locks in place. The SSD has attachment loops for tag lines, to provide connection point for multiple rope operations, or to secure a tie off point.
