Whether you’re a seasoned veteran of the fire service or
just starting your career, you need to be prepared for whatever comes your way
when working on-scene. It also goes without saying that you’ll need to keep
your head about you when things go awry, but what you keep on your head – in
addition to your helmet – is equally vital. That’s why you need to have our Original
WACK-PACK: a popular kit comprised of three powerfully life-saving devices,
all able to be strapped to your helmet for quick, efficient access when you
need them most.
Witmer Public Safety Group founder Mr. Jim Witmer saw a need
for an affordable pack of tools for firefighters to use, especially when they’d
recently graduated from the fire academy and needed things that weren’t already
provided to them, hence the creation of the Original WACK-PACK. In addition to
looking impressive, the Original WACK-PACK is comprised of two small, durable
thermoplastic rubber door or sprinkler wedges – also referred to as chocks –
that are ideal for everything from keeping doors open to chocking off a
sprinkler. You may think these tools can be easily overlooked, but once you
realize their full potential, you’ll be sure to have them handy at all times,
as they can greatly assist you and save a lot of time in the process.
The Original WACK-PACK’s dependable, lightweight Life Light®
flashlight is an intuitive, effective way to aim forward-facing light in any
direction in front of you as you turn your head. A long-time favorite of
firefighters, these flashlights are time-tested and have proven the worth to
legions of firefighters. Featuring a surprisingly bright beam, the Life Light®
offers a curved, ergonomically friendly design, a non-slip rubber grip
(allowing it to be easily and firmly held), a glow-in-the-dark switch, and a
convenient loop clip.
Best of all, the flashlight’s bright color scheme (blue,
yellow, or red, depending on available stock) allows it to be easily located,
should you drop or misplace it. Even better, its price point is agreeable to
any firefighter’s budget, no matter if you’re just starting out or have been on
the job for decades.
Finally, each tool of the Original WACK-PACK is brought
together by a durable, heat-resistant rubber strap that allows you to easily
mount the flashlight and wedges on your helmet, thereby giving you immediate
access to these vitally important tools whenever the need arises.
As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end”.
Time has, unfortunately, passed the Original WACK-PACK by, and we are
discontinuing its sale because the Life Light® flashlight vendor only
constructs them with LED capabilities now. But don’t sweat it; you can still
purchase a limited number of the Original WACK-PACK kits at a clearance price,
or take a look at the modernized kit, the Wack-Pack
LED, which features the aforementioned LED lighting upgrade, along with the
standard tools of its predecessor.
