OCALA, Fla., Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ProTech™, the unique new safety technology package developed by E-ONE, has received significant interest since its debut during the 2013 FDIC. The Bryn Mawr Fire Company is the first department to order two new fire trucks featuring the innovative ProTech™ system.
"While we've never been in a major accident, we see them every day in the news and the statistics show that most firefighter injuries occur on the way to or from a call," said BMFC Fire Chief Dan Kincade. "We have this technology in our cars, so why don't we have it in our fire trucks?"
That reasoning is what led E-ONE, a company with a foundation of innovation, to focus its efforts on developing a system to increase the safety of firefighters.
"We saw the need for this type of technology and made a significant investment in research and development to create a safety system focused on protecting those who protect us," said Kent Tyler, president and CEO of E-ONE. "We're very grateful to the Bryn Mawr Fire Company for their multi-truck purchase featuring ProTech™ and we're excited to see the momentum ProTech™ is receiving in the industry."
ProTech™ is the industry's most comprehensive occupant protection system that integrates the latest prevention and protection technology available to offer an all-encompassing safety technology package. E-ONE's ProTech™ system features OnGuard® for audible collision warning and accident mitigation, G4™ electronic stability control for added stability, CrewGuard™ for occupant detection, and a 360-degree camera system for perimeter protection. If an accident does occur, the impact is cushioned with a steering wheel airbag, driver and officer knee bags, as well as side roll protection. And all E-ONE cabs are designed with a roll-cage structure to offer maximum protection.
"The safety of our firefighters is our first priority and ProTech™ is a system like no other available on the market today," said Chief Kincade.
