Eight Kansas state Task Force Fire Rescue teams celebrated their graduation with each team leader being handed a CON-SPACE SearchCam 3000 camera. The ceremony took place at the Great Plains Joint Training Center, otherwise known as “Crisis City,” located in Salina, Kansas. This center is designed to train Rescue and HazMat teams for many kinds of disaster scenarios. Adjutant Kansas General Tod Bunting and new Crisis Center Manager Frank Coots applauded the training and support provided by CON-SPACE for live training on the “rubble pile” in October of 2009 and March of 2010.
Bill Johnson represented CON-SPACE for both trainings and has continued to work with the individual departments in Kansas to enhance their knowledge of CON-SPACE search and rescue gear. Johnson noted it was both his and CON-SPACE’s honor to work hand in hand with the teams in the field and reiterated the company’s commitment to helping the teams at Crisis City in the future.

A lot has happened since my last blog post. There was a devastating earthquake in Chile at the end of February, thankfully our equipment was able to do some good for the people there. Greg Peters and I attended the San Diego based Firehouse World Conference & Expo again this year and had a great time talking with old and new friends. Then I was back on the road to Las Vegas with Matt Fiddes for the International Wireless Conference and Exposition. While there we hooked up with some of our industry partners and fire brothers and sisters to discuss the Digital P25 Communications issues and new ideas and solutions. Matt and I then headed straight to New York for the FDNY symposium where we were invited to show off some of our latest and greatest rescue gear. In addition Joe Downey did a great presentation on the NY TF in Haiti.
All in all, a crazy month for travel. But it was great to get out and show off our new gear and talk about new development projects and solutions. Can’t wait for FDIC!
Hope to see you there.

We have been so busy it seemed to go by faster than the Canadian Ski team. The last 30 days at CON-SPACE have been a roller coaster ride…from the sorrow of the events in Haiti to the exhilaration of the torch relay and opening ceremonies here in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics. In addition, we moved our head office to brand new facilities, finalized our European service center, hired a new Regional Sales Manager, Quality Manager, inside sales support person, and shipped a huge amount of rescue gear to all parts of the globe. We have re-tooled our manufacturing facilities in Bakersfield and Vancouver and to improve lead times on all our products, including the Searchcam 3000. Not unlike the athletes in our town at the moment we have had to prepare ourselves to take on the world. We are ready!

P.S. Go Canada !
