MONROE COUNTY (NY) VOLUNTEER FIRE POLICE ASSOCIATION RECEIVE AEROLIGHT™ WEARABLE ILLUMINATION DEVICES

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – (March 3, 2007) – The Monroe County Volunteer Fire Police Association is the first public safety organization outfitted and authorized to use AeroLight™ self-illuminating personal safety gear at emergency scenes in the country. The wearable devices will make Fire Police officers more visible to motorists when approaching emergency scenes. Funding for the gear was provided by a state grant secured through the efforts of State Senators James Alesi and Joseph Robach. Approval for use of the equipment at emergency scenes was given by the Monroe County Volunteer Fire Chief’s Association.

This is an important development for public safety and the emergency responder community in Upstate NY. Monroe has set a precedent as the first county to adopt this break-through technology for its Fire Police squads. The county currently has over two hundred and fifty active Fire Police. Fire Police are volunteer firefighters who support local fire departments as peace officers with the same authority as police officers to regulate traffic at the scene of fires or other emergencies.

AeroLight™ self illumination technology is manufactured in Rochester by AeroLife Products, Inc. and represents the next generation of personal protective equipment. The electro-luminescent devices emit a darkness-piercing glow that is more visible from a greater distance than any other light source, especially in elements such as smoke, fog, snow, or rain. In addition, each device is also retro-reflective.

Extensive field testing by the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association and its affiliates validate the technology. Mr. Jerry Daniels, a Fire Police Officer in Newark, DE and a ranking member of the Cumberland Valley association asserts: “Our main concern is safety. Anything we can use that makes us more visible in today's world is definitely a plus.” Local Fire Police leaders agree that personal safety is the number one concern and are proud to team up with Mr. David Orange, President of AeroLife to reach this goal.
