Washington Fire Company Purchases Life Saving Equipment With ASTM International Donation

ASTM International continued its ongoing support of Washington Fire Company No. 1 in Conshohocken, Pa. with a recent donation of over $5,000.  Lifesaving equipment purchased with the donation included 10 digital pagers and a software programming kit, 15 survivor flashlights and three bank chargers that mount in the fire truck and seven PASS devices. PASS devices begin to beep if no motion is detected, indicating the location of a firefighter who may be missing or trapped during an incident.
