CHARLOTTE, Mich., Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Spartan
Emergency Response ("Spartan" or "Spartan ER"), a business
unit of Spartan Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAR) ("Spartan Motors" or
the "Company"), is introducing the latest addition to the Spartan
Advanced Protection System®, Contaminant Containment and
Management, an innovative solution set to help in the efforts to
mitigate prolonged exposure to pollutants inside of fire truck
cabs, at the Fire-Rescue International (FRI) Annual
Conference in Atlanta,
August 7-10. Spartan's Metro Star cab
and chassis featuring the enhanced safety package will be on
display among other Spartan Emergency Response vehicles, in booth
#2103.
"Spartan Motors is driven to provide the most innovative safety
solutions to help protect our first responders," said Todd Fierro, President, Spartan Emergency
Response. "The new Contaminant Containment and Management
capability furthers our goals to minimize first responders'
exposure to harmful environmental pollutants. We look forward to
fulfilling OEM orders for our latest safety innovation next
year."
Adding Contaminant Containment and Management to the Spartan
Advanced Protection System gives departments the option to select
additional in-cab safety features that reduce exposure to
contaminants, as first responders return from calls, often referred
to as "Clean Cab" options. Spartan's Contaminant Containment and
Management offering features a High Efficiency Particulate Air
filter (HEPA, 17 MERV), which can trap and remove nearly 100
percent of potentially harmful materials from combustion smoke,
toxic particles, and other contaminants introduced to the interior
of the cab. Additional options include a self-contained exterior
compartment used to store SCBA packs, helmets, and other devices
used on the fire scene that are easily accessible but stored
separately from the truck's cab. The interior of the cab is lined
with a unique, and new to the industry, easy-to-clean smooth
surface that minimizes pocket areas that hold debris, allowing for
quicker high-quality wash-downs after every run.
Alongside the Metro Star cab equipped with Contaminant
Containment and Management, Spartan will display several aerial
devices, ladder platforms, and pumper trucks at the conference,
including:
- 100' Mid Mount Platform – Demo unit
- IPS-NXT – Demo unit
- 105' Rear Mount Ladder – Vincennes
Township, Indiana
- S-180 Pumper – Waco, North
Carolina
"Spartan has led the way in safety for years with the launch of
the Spartan Advanced Protection System. From industry-first
driver and passenger airbag positions to smart restraints, outboard
sensors, and 360 degree cameras, and flat floors, we're proud to
add contaminant containment to the list of safety provisions that
make Spartan's cabs some of the safest in the industry," said
Todd Fierro, President of Spartan
Emergency Response. "We are pleased to offer the latest in clean
cab provisions at this year's FRI Conference."
