Company's booth was busy throughout, and apparatus display put on with much-appreciated help of several VFDs was a highlight of show for many visitors, Kaza Fire reports

Ebensburg, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2015 -- Kaza Fire Equipment Co., one of the country's leading sources for fire and rescue equipment and service, reports that the company's exhibit at the recent Pittsburgh Fire, Rescue, and EMS Expo was a great success. Kaza Fire representatives set up and staffed a booth at the Monroeville Convention Center from Feburary 28 through March 1, offering Expo attendees access to some of the company's most popular boots, helmets, Flash Lights, and other gear.

The Rosenbauer Group and the Volunteer Fire Departments of Glendale, Cochranton, and Johnsburg also lent trucks to Kaza Fire for use in a highly popular apparatus display, for which the company is especially grateful. Kaza Fire would like to thank the many show visitors who stopped by the company's booth for making the Expo such a rewarding and memorable experience.

"We have just returned from the 2015 Pittsburgh Fire Expo, which is always one of the most enjoyable and interesting events of the year," Kaza Fire founder Andy Kaza said, "This year's was the biggest and best yet, and it was great to be able to meet and connect with so many first responders and others in the industry.

With a history stretching back to 1972 when founder Andy Kaza began selling fire equipment part-time, Kaza Fire is one of the country's best known and most highly regarded suppliers and providers of service for fire and rescue equipment. That makes the company an especially natural fit for the annual Pittsburgh Fire Expo that is held not far from its home base of Ebensburg, and Kaza Fire's exhibits are invariably some of the most popular at the Expo.

Firefighters' favorite boots for quality, comfort and durability to become one of Kaza Fire Equipment Co.'s key product lines

Ebensburg, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/12/2015 -- Currently, the most stressful job in America, according to the recently released 2015 Jobs Rated report, is that of firefighter. Experts state that because firefighters live knowing they may be called to risk their lives at any given moment, the stress level is understandably high. Furthermore, when a firefighter enters a burning building, he counts on his gear to protect him. In addition to ladders, axes, flashlights and Air Tools, a firefighter trusts his protective clothing. His helmet, coat, gloves, eyewear, etc., function together to insulate him from the fire-related perils of his profession.

One mandatory item of support gear every fireman needs is a pair of excellent structural boots to safeguard his feet from the myriad of dangers underfoot. Kaza Fire Equipment Co., a longtime supplier of high-end firefighting equipment and protective clothing, recognized this vital need, and has expanded their line to include the addition of GLOBE STRUCTURAL BOOTS to augment their inventory of firefighting apparel.

"Everything a firefighter wears or carries with him into a fire scenario must function to support and not hinder him so that he can focus his attention on the job at hand," explained company spokesperson, Andy Kaza. He goes on to say, firefighters need durable structural boots to provide them with necessary comfort and support. Their boots are required to be impervious to a wide range of potential hazards.

"A firefighter doesn't need the distraction of his shoe laces catching fire, or the soles of his shoes melting," said Kaza. "Globe structural boots are both comfortable and tough. They are some of the best we've found to provide first responders with the protection they need against the unknown hazards they encounter when they enter a fire environment. We're convinced these boots will make an excellent addition to our existing line of firefighting solutions."

In addition to being a primary provider of fire fighting equipment and accessories, Kaza Fire Equipment Co. sells, services and repairs a full range of primary fire apparatus including rescue vehicles, mini-pumpers, tankers, commercial pumpers, aerials, etc. Kaza Fire provides maintenance and repair for all brands of fire fighting equipment, such as MSA thermal imaging cameras, MSA gas detection, Cairn's helmets, hydraulic hoses, MSA self-contained breathing apparatus, paratech rescue equipment, and the like. They also carry a wide range of fire extinguishers for which they offer support. In addition, they provide monthly, quarterly or annual fire extinguisher inspections, offer hydro-testing for both high and low pressure cylinders, and are a community resource for fire extinguisher training.

With manufacturer MSA experiencing months-long back-orders, company's stock of popular N5A helmets will go quickly, Kaza Fire Equipment reports

Ebensburg, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/16/2014 -- Kaza Fire Equipment Co., a leading supplier of fire-fighting equipment and apparatuses, announced that the company has received new stock of hard-to-find N5A leather helmets. As manufacturer MSA is operating with a 14-week backlog in producing the helmets, Kaza Fire Equipment's inventory represents one of the best available opportunities for those seeking to purchase helmets in the near term, whether as holiday gifts for others or for their own use. Kaza Fire representatives expect that the company's remaining stock of these important, in-demand safety accessories will go quickly, so those interested in them are urged to visit the company's website as soon as possible.

"The N5A is a classic helmet and has long been one of our most popular products," Kaza Fire founder Andy Kaza said, "We're happy to have been able to secure another order of the helmets in time for Christmas, and they are already selling quickly."

Kaza Fire founder Andy Kaza began selling fire-fighting equipment part-time more than 40 years ago, quickly finding that there was a great demand for a reliable supplier of high-quality products of the sort. By 1983, Kaza's business had grown to the point that he opened a physical retail and service center in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, a move that boosted the company's growth further.

Since that time, Kaza Fire Equipment has become one of the country's top suppliers and servicers of fire equipment and apparatuses. Kaza Fire stocks a full range of products aimed at helping individual fire fighters get outfitted, from protective goggles like the highly regarded ESS EYE PRO to Flash Lights that are built to stand up reliably to the rigors of fire-fighting and rescue duty.

In addition to being a top source for such products, Kaza Fire Equipment Co. also sells and services fire trucks, pumpers, rescue vehicles and other critical safety assets. The company is currently performing final inspections on a rescue pumper destined for the Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania, fire department, for example, and many Kaza Fire-provided machines are currently in service around the state and country, as with a Rosenbauer Timberwolf owned by the Rennerdale Volunteer Fire Department that was recently featured on the Kaza Fire Facebook page.

Kaza Fire Equipment's new stock of N5A leather helmets includes a number in each of natural, black, white, yellow, and red finishes in various sizes. As supplies of N5A helmets have been so hard to come by recently, Kaza Fire expects that these popular helmets will sell quickly. Those interested in the helmets or any other products Kaza Fire stocks can conveniently shop online using the company's secure website or inquire by phone or email.

Online store allows fire departments to buy specialized equipment without long drives to far-off suppliers, reports Kaza Fire Equipment Company

Ebensburg, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/13/2014 -- Kaza Fire Equipment Co. recently announced the opening of its online store, which brings consumer-like convenience to fire departments and similar organizations across the nation. This store makes it easy to purchase professional firefighting equipment at any time. Ordering is open to everyone, including municipal fire departments, private firefighting teams, and individuals.

"The need to go to a physical store to buy equipment has often posed problems for fire departments, especially those that are in remote areas," said Rick Smith of Kaza Fire. "This is because equipment stores tend to be located in big cities, which means that someone in a far-off town will have to drive 50 miles or more to get to them. Remote fire departments often can't afford to spare the personnel for the amount of time it takes to get to a store, buy equipment, and get back. The ability to get delivery will be a big boon to these fire brigades."

Similar problems are posed to private businesses and other organizations that have their own firefighting staff. Colleges, large apartment complexes, and other such establishments often have private firefighting staff and private police officers. These departments are often small, and having someone spend all day shopping for equipment will usually leave them noticeably short-handed.

"Our online store offers all of the peripheral equipment a firefighting team needs," Smith explained. "If a department needs an 18 inch Fan, for example, it'll have no trouble finding the perfect one at our shop. We carry several makes and models of these fans, which are usually used to clear fumes from a building after a fire has been put out. Other products in stock include fire hose, ladders, knives, pick-axes, and similar equipment."

Since rescue is often part of a firefighting operation, the store also carries plenty of equipment designed to make it easier to gain access to locked or otherwise blocked-off areas. Notably, the old-fashioned axe has been improved upon in many ways. Manual solutions include hardened pick-axes that can chop through a door in just a few strokes. For situations where power is available, whether from a generator or a standard outlet, Air Tools come into play. These combine the power of an impact driver with chisel-shaped tool heads. They're great for chopping through masonry, collapsed debris, and other hard materials that stand behind a firefighter and a trapped victim.

Kaza Fire does offer one set of services that still require a physical visit: repairs of apparatus and installation of equipment to fire trucks and other vehicles. Even then, it does its best to provide maximum convenience. It has mobile repair and installation trucks that will travel to customers in western and central Pennsylvania, Ohio, and northern West Virginia. This makes their service, repair, and installation offerings great adjuncts to their online sales options.

About Kaza Fire Equipment Company
The Kaza Fire Equipment Company offers online and physical sales of firefighting equipment and accessories for public and private fire departments. It also offers sales, installation, and service of equipment via mobile repair trucks.
