Cryptographic transducer calibration system for hose assembly test benches
A testbench system is disclosed. The system includes a network interface; a memory storage; a transducer; and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to operate in a first phase and: perform calibration of the transducer and generate calibration data; generate a unique identification (CTS-ID) for the transducer based on the calibration data; mark the transducer with the CTS-ID; and provide the CTS-ID and the calibration data to the network interface for transmission to a database.
Systems and methods for scanning an emergency response vehicle for a tool
A system includes an emergency response vehicle transitionable between a motive state and a non-motive state and a tool. The tool includes an identifier and is configured to be removably secured to the emergency response vehicle. The system further includes a scanner coupled to the emergency response vehicle and operable to identify the identifier when the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle. A control module is communicatively coupled to the scanner and includes a processor and a memory storing instructions which cause the processor to determine that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the motive state and the non-motive state, and, in response to determining that the emergency response vehicle has transitioned between the motive state and the non-motive state, cause the scanner to scan the emergency response vehicle for the identifier to determine whether the tool is secured to the emergency response vehicle.
FIRE HOSE WITH REFLECTIVE MARKER
Fire hose composed of single textile reinforcement made entirely from high-strength polyester thread, horizontal weaving (fabric type), in white, and an internal tube made from synthetic rubber, in black, in types I, II and III, and type IV with an external coating made from Special Acrylic Ink in red or special luminescent ink in orange, yellow and pink, and an internal tube made from synthetic rubber, in black, with greater abrasion resistance, in accordance with Standard. NBR 11861 in both types, characterized by the inclusion of arrows in reflective material over the entire length thereof, between 1 and 1.8 meters on the two intercalated faces, further having Connection Seals, in blue, directly at the respective outlet from the fire truck, hydrant or other means used for the entry of water into the hose, and the other connection seal in red for coupling to the nozzle used (Figures A.2 and A.5).

EXTENSION ASSEMBLY FOR A FIRE SUPPRESSION SPRAY NOZZLE
An extension assembly for a fire suppression spray nozzle is provided. A tube having a first end and a second end is welded to a female hose coupler at the tube's first end. A male hose coupler is welded to the second end of the tube. A support sleeve connected to the female hose coupler inserts into a fire suppression spray nozzle or another instance of the extension assembly to provide for easy alignment of the threaded connectors and for adding strength to the connection.
WIRELESS FIRE HOSE FLOW RATE APPARATUS AND MEASURING FLOW RATE IN A FIRE HOSE
A wireless flow rate apparatus measures flow rate in a fluid-conductive conduit and includes: the fluid conductive conduit comprising a non-rigid wall; a wireless sensor network including a flow sensor that detects vibrations of the fluid-conductive conduit, produces a sensor signal; and a wireless node that receives the sensor signal and wirelessly communicates the sensor signal; a base station that wirelessly receives the sensor signal; and a flow rate analyzer that receives the sensor signal from the base station and determines the flow rate of fluid in the fluid-conductive conduit from the sensor signal.
Decoupler tool
A decoupler tool for decoupling a Storz coupler is disclosed having a base member and handle and decoupler member attached to the base member. The handle and decoupler member may include two handles and each handle includes vertical leg having a protrusion for engaging a coupling lug or coupling lock release member of a Storz coupler.

Firefighting Valve Assemblies, Hose Lays, Hose Packs, and Methods of Using Same
Various implementations of a firefighting valve assembly are disclosed. The firefighting valve assembly is especially suitable for fighting wildland fires. In some implementation, the firefighting valve assembly has a spatial profile that makes it easy to pack with long bundles of firefighting hose and easy to connect segments of firefighting hose as part of a hose lay. In some implementations, the firefighting valve assembly has a spatial profile that prevents it from inadvertently opening or closing when the hose is moved or pulled along the ground.
Hose Plow Attachment
A hose plow attachment is provided. The device includes a frame removably securable to a vehicle bumper via a mounting bracket, wherein the frame includes an upper cross bar and a lower cross bar. In some embodiments, a platform is disposed between a lower surface of the upper cross bar and an upper surface of the lower cross bar, wherein an exterior surface of the platform comprises a material having a coefficient of friction less than one. In other embodiments, a plurality of rollers is rotatably affixed to a lower surface of the upper cross bar and an upper surface of the lower cross bar, wherein each roller of the plurality of rollers rotates about a longitudinal axis of the plurality of rollers.
