FDIC was a great opportunity for Mustang to hear feedback from so many people who use our gear as part of their job. It was also a chance for us to learn about other products that would interest people that use our gear.

One of those products that I came across at FDIC was the Ram-Air Gear Dryer, a vertical dryer used by Fire Departments to quickly dry gear after use and have ready for the next mission. I stopped by the Ram-Air booth and met with company president, Lance Dornn, to see one of the dryers for myself.

Lance uses Mustang’s Ice Commander Ice Rescue Suit to demonstrate how his company’s dryers work. Instead of using heat, the Ram-Air Dryer uses pressure forced, ambient air which can even get into those hard to reach places including the insides of gloves! The dryer has an automatic timer that can be set for up to 12 hours so that you can control drying time based on what type of gear needs to be dried.

Does your department use the Ram-Air Dryer? Leave a comment on OutThere and tell other Mustang users how it works for you!

Since the exhibition opened yesterday afternoon, Mustang Survival’s booth has been packed the entire time. Our team is working hard to answer questions and help people decide which gear best fits their mission.

FDIC is the world’s largest firefighter show and just about takes over Indianapolis for the week. Firefighters from all over the country and around the world come to train and see the latest technology and personal protection equipment. The show takes up the entire convention center including the attached RCA Dome, home to the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.

It’s great to hear people tell me about how much they love their Mustang gear. Some come with their stories of how our products have worked for them and others are looking for solutions to their water rescue equipment needs.

This year, as departments prepare for the flooding that follows the spring thaw, many are stopping by to check out our Water Rescue Gear and learn more about the MSD577 SR, our dry suit designed specifically for water rescue.

If you find yourself at FDIC this year, stop by booth 534 and check us out!
