We had a fantastic time at the UK Rescue Challenge, congratulations to all the winners. Special congratulations to the Royal Berkshire Rescue Team as they came First in all the categories under the Extrication Challenge, with Avon Fire & Rescue awarded Second and Central Scotland awarded Third. What makes their win even more special to us is that they were one of many who used Packexe SMASH!

It was fantastic to hear that Packexe SMASH was used within the 2011 Technical Rescue Challenge in Zirl last month. The images below clearly present Packexe SMASH in action:

Students who attended the ‘Hands on Training Class’ at the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore, USA on the 19th – 23rd July, tested and compared Duct Tape to Packexe SMASH while breaking a window of a car. The results are significant!
