Partnering with Regional Fire Departments on Lift-Assist Response

Lift-assist calls — where a fallen but uninjured person needs help returning to a chair or bed — make up a notable share of daily call volume for many fire departments.

Through a new pilot partnership, we're supplying portable lifting equipment to several regional departments and studying its effect on crew size requirements and average call duration.

Early feedback suggests meaningful time savings per call, with a full report expected once the pilot period concludes later this year.
