New Jersey Fire Chief Endorses Rescue Cablelight by Lumiflex
The Rescue Cablelight is manufactured exclusively by Northwire - NWI Lab360,
this severe duty search and rescue apparatus meets demands for durability, flexibility, heat and water resistance and more.
- (1888PressRelease) December 29, 2012 - OSCEOLA, WI. - Cable manufacturer, Northwire, Inc. (NWI), today announced an exclusive manufacturing partnership with Lumiflex, Inc., Burlingame, California. Purpose designed and built for today's modern search and rescue professionals, Lumiflex's patented electroluminescent technology showcases NWI's field-proven, custom harsh duty cord solution capabilities.
Northwire-NWI Lab360 is the premier partner for the design, manufacture and contract engineering services of custom technical products for diverse markets. NWI Lab360 leverages professional certifications in Six Sigma, Lean, Project Management and the American Society for Quality to optimize design, manufacturing and quality to achieve the highest quality and the shortest lead times for any volume of custom wire and cable, retractiles, assemblies, connectors, harnesses, injection molded plastic parts and over-molded products.
Designed and field-proven by firefighters to meet the extraordinary challenges facing emergency responders in life threatening operations, the Rescue Cablelight kit serves as a safety life-line by illuminating emergency routes. Unlike light beams and flash lights that cannot turn a corner, the Rescue Cablelight radiates a continuous, critical path to safety in smoke-filled, structurally damaged environments.
"In life threatening, low visibility rescue operations, an illuminated pathway to safety can help keep the responders on task, when every second counts," explains Alex Parr, president of Lumiflex, "The Rescue Cablelight is designed so that rescue professionals can access and egress more safely and quickly." Featuring waterproof, impact resistant cable with a 390°F heat rating, the portable and rechargeable power pack with redundant two-way power capability passed the rigors of impact, drop and vibration testing.
Veteran Fire Chief Thomas McNamara of Elizabeth, NJ, credits the Rescue Cablelight in the "heavy black smoke and high heat" at the ten alarm Burry Biscuit warehouse fire. According to Chief McNamara, "Numerous attempts and tactics were used to attack the fire, which had a strong hold in the basement…at this point, visibility was zero…many members stated they were able to get out safely and quickly by following the lighted Rescue Cablelight."
"Field-tested for more than forty-years, we are pleased to meet the extreme cable engineering demands of our valued customers and end-users," says Michael A. Conger, president of Northwire. "We innovate solutions for severe environments and we are excited to exclusively manufacture to Lumiflex's rugged cable requirements and support their cause to serve these brave men and women," explains Conger.
Featuring an emergency flash mode, Rescue Cablelight's electroluminescent patented technology is available in blue and green. Strong, overall mechanical strength can exceed 480 pounds. Extreme high flex cable capabilities include torsional, rolling, variable, bending and continuous.
Lumiflex's technology offers cool-to-the-touch and low power consumption flexible lighting solutions, that are ideally suited for a wide array of rugged cable applications, including search and rescue, military, fire-fighting and industrial cable environments. The aesthetically pleasing white light profiles compliment architectural designs, entertainment venues and accessorize consumer products and luxury goods with the balanced blend of fashion and utility.
