FIREday Night Lights – Week 35

This week, FIREday Night Lights is about more than a new ambulance. It's about a community investing in the people, equipment, and facilities that support emergency response!

We're heading to Plymouth, NC, to feature Washington County EMS Unit 2603, a new 2026 Ford F-550 4x4 PL Custom ambulance, photographed in front of Washington County's impressive new Emergency Operations Center.

The new facility brings together 911 dispatch, EMS operations, emergency management, and training under one roof—helping strengthen coordination, preparedness, and emergency response throughout the county.

And parked out front is a beautiful new ambulance that's ready to serve!

A closer look at Unit 2603:

🔴 2026 Ford F-550 4x4 – 7.3L V8 Gas Engine

🔴 PL Custom 170" Classic Body

🔴 72" Interior Headroom

🔴 LiquidSpring Rear Suspension

🔴 Whelen Hundred Series Warning Lighting

🔴 HiViz FireTech Guardian Scene Lighting

🔴 Buckstop Front Bumper with Grille Guard

🔴 Super Cool Heating & A/C System

🔴 Can-Bus Multiplex Electrical System

🔴 Advanced Crew Restraint Systems

🔴 PL Custom Lifetime Modular Structural Body Warranty

🔴 CAAS Compliant

From its bold blue-and-white graphics to its thoughtfully equipped patient compartment, Unit 2603 represents another investment in the crews who answer the call when their communities need them most.

A big thank you to Washington County EMS for allowing us to showcase their new ambulance, and congratulations to Washington County on its new Emergency Operations Center!

We're proud to play a part in equipping the first responders who serve our North Carolina communities.

STANDARD TO ERT — JUST LIKE THAT.

I’d keep your share shorter than Snap-tite’s original copy and focus on getting firefighters to watch the comparison.
PUTTING KINK RESISTANCE TO THE TEST 🔥💦
Every hose can claim kink resistance — but what happens when you actually put it under flowing conditions?
Snap-tite put Gladiator™ FGN to the test at 45°, 90° and 180° angles while flowing 160 GPM through a 7/8" smooth bore tip at 50 PSI.
Check out the comparison below and see the results for yourself. 👇
What matters most to your department when choosing attack hose — kink resistance, durability, handling, weight, or something else?

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

There’s no substitute for getting hands-on with an SCBA and experiencing the fit and feel for yourself.

Hear from Lonnie, a firefighter from Arizona, as he shares his impressions after experiencing the Dräger AirBoss. YouTube

We’ve seen a lot of great conversation from firefighters about AirBoss lately—and we want to keep it going.

Have you had a chance to put on an AirBoss yet? If so, what stood out to you?
