MSA Safety Showcases Firefighter Safety Technology at FDIC

At fire scenes, maydays are declared nearly 80 percent of the time due to a lack of firefighter situational awareness, according to Project Mayday, a collective study of mayday incidents, responses and prevention. While mayday calls are just one of many challenges facing firefighters on the fireground, MSA Safety, Inc., (NYSE: MSA) will showcase solutions that address these challenges at this week’s Fire Department Instructor’s Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis, Indiana. FDIC is one of the world’s largest firefighter conferences and attracts more than 30,000 fire service professionals. This year, to address the connectivity, accountability, and communications challenges facing those firefighters and their colleagues, MSA will feature the latest enhancements to its Connected Firefighter Platform.
