SAM Waterflow Systems

For rural departments relying on drafting and dump tanks, SAM's functionality simplifies critical operations. As Deputy Chief Jimmy Townsend explains, 'you don't have to stop flowing water to draft,' enhancing on-scene agility.

“If I don't want to go into a burning building, I want to give somebody else the best equipment they can have to go do their job.” Sales Engineer Robert Kain describes his experience at IDEX and how it feels to develop life-saving products, including SAM, SAM BOOST and Captium. #WhyIDEX

SAM BOOST offers real-time feedback, showing the potential consequences of pressure adjustments. Captain Bill Dugas points out how SAM BOOST guides his crew to pump at the correct pressure for optimal GPM, moving away from relying solely on 'feel.'

It's not just about the technology, it's about the practical benefits. Assistant Chief Jake Owens highlights the 'redundancies that are there' and how the SAM system automates key steps. They 'believe in it that much' because it reduces potential user errors and makes things easier.?

"If we lose this, it’s going to have a generational impact," IDEX Fire & Safety VP David Durstine warns regarding the potential National Fire Academy closure. This loss threatens to disrupt vital foundational training, leaving future firefighters unprepared for evolving hazards. The ripple effect could compromise national fire service standards and diminish overall public safety.

Imagine streamlining your operations and empowering your team, regardless of their engineering background. SAM's intuitive design accelerates workflow and simplifies complex tasks. In today's fire service, attracting tech-savvy talent is crucial, and SAM delivers. #SAM #FirefightingTechnology

The firefighter shortage is a growing crises impacting communities across the US. It's time to address it at the root. From embracing modern tech to building stronger recruitment pipelines, we need a fresh approach to ensure fire departments have the resources to protect our communities.

In the last four decades, the US population is up more than 40%, and the number of emergency calls has tripled. But the number of firefighters is going in the opposite direction. That's why Hernando County Fire Rescue said they retrofitted their truck with SAM BOOST. “We never expect technology to take the place of human beings and firefighters. But what this technology does is it really helps us get those first five minutes worth of tasks done efficiently," said Nick Brandt, Hernando County Fire Rescue Communications Manager.

Eddy County Lieutenant Jake Canavan tried to beat the SAM BOOST system in a head-to-head challenge, but “there was no way” he could win. Jake says it best. Give it a shot, give it a chance.
