The Steel Returned

In our local city resides a very large steel mill, originally named Lukens Steel. In fact, back in 1969, Lukens was the mill that forged the steel beams (often referred to as "trees") for the World Trade Center towers.

Many of these steel forged beams remained in tact and still standing after the catastrophic events of September 11th, 2001.

In fact, ten of the remaining beams were transported back to Coatesville, Pennsylvania on April 15, 2010, to the city they were originally made.

Recently, some of these beams were added to our new Chester County Public Safety Training Center as a memorial to the events that day:

In a small way, the city in which TheFireStore resides was connected to the World Trade Center. We're honored that the beams have been transported back to this city and are able to become part of a memorial that help us to Never Forget.

Product Review: True North DragonWear T-Shirt

  -Our blog, On Scene with TheFireStore & The FireGeezer Blog are working together doing a review program of products we think you'll benefit from hearing an inside perspective. -

* * * * *

 This week we are reviewing the True North DragonWear FR PowerDry T-Shirt.  It was field-tested by Firefighter/EMT Rick Genberg of the Haledon Fire Department in Haledon, New Jersey.

I recently had the chance to evaluate the DragonWear Men’s FR PowerDry shortsleeve t-shirt from True North.  It is available in two colors and I received the blue XL t-shirt.

The first thing I noticed about the shirt was the feel. Of the many sweat-wicking undershirts I have tried in the Army and the fire service, this one has the most cotton-like feel of any of them, which I greatly appreciated. I never felt like I was wearing anything other than an ordinary cotton t-shirt, yet the sweat-wicking capabilities were on par with other shirts with the same purpose. As a bonus, I experienced none of the chafing I have had wearing other brands.

At the height of a very hot and humid summer in the Northeast I wore the t-shirt under both my EMS duty shirt and turnout coat a number of times. The shirt felt very cool and comfortable, yet with minimum of soaking. I also ran the shirt through several wash and dry cycles at high temperatures and yet, as far as I can tell, there was no shrinking, something I can’t say for other brands I have used.  The only feature of the shirt I couldn’t test and I hope I will never have to is the flash resistance.

The price is quite comparable to other performance shirts, a bargain even, given its durability.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a performance undershirt for duty wear.

Haledon, New Jersey, Fire Department.

On Scene Review: True North DRINK Hydration Pack

 -Our blog, On Scene with TheFireStore & The FireGeezer Blog are working together doing a review program of products we think you'll benefit from hearing an inside perspective. -

This week we are reviewing the True North DRINK Hydration Pack.

The pack was field-tested by Technician II Paul Hines of the Stafford County (Virginia) Fire & Rescue Department. Recently the Stafford County FRD has begun issuing hydration packs to firefighter recruits when they begin their recruit school.

His comments and experience with the hydration pack are included here:

True North DRINK Hydration Pack

I had the opportunity to test the True North Guardian Hydration Pack. The pack lived up to my expectations, and performed exactly as advertised. Having never owned any form of a "hydration pack," I was unsure what to expect. As an avid runner, I have been assigned as the PT instructor for our career recruit academies. I found that this particular pack addressed a few different obstacles that I have run into while running the recruits PT sessions.

 

Number one is the ability to transport an adequate amount of water on our long runs. Carrying a water bottle in hand isn’t only cumbersome, it is impossible to carry enough to fulfill our needs. The Hydration Pack holds approx. 3 liters of fluid that is dispensed through a sucking tube that has a sturdy bite valve. The tube has a neoprene cover that helps insulate the fluid that is stored in it. 

Number two would be the reflective properties of the pack. This is my favorite feature because it allows all the recruits to ditch their bulky reflective vests when we are exercising. 

My last concern was the comfort of the Guardian Pack. Would it wear or chafe anywhere during a long run? Would it fit snug and tight, regardless of the amount of water remaining? It answered all of these questions exactly as I had hoped. Snug fit, straps never loosened, didn’t bounce too much during the run, never wore on my shoulders, and worked properly till the last drop of water was drunk. .

It also has a handy zippered pocket in the backpack where you can store items that you might need while you are away from the truck, such as your gloves. The shoulder straps have "break-away" connections for obvious safety's sake.

Overall I was very satisfied with the True North DRINK Guardian Hydration Pack. I would recommend it to any runner or firefighter who could make use of it such as extended brush fires or other prolonged tasks such as pump operations. Especially to those who are looking for a comfortable way to carry more water, or those who take runs at lower light times, such as dusk.
