On April 16, 1947, the cargo ship Grandcamp caught fire in Texas City harbor. Its hold contained 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. The explosion that followed killed 581 people, injured 5,000, destroyed the entire waterfront, and was felt in Louisiana. A second ship exploded the following morning. The entire Texas City volunteer fire department was killed in the first explosion. It remains the deadliest industrial accident in United States history and most Americans have never heard of it. 🔥

💪Volunteer Strong - Nearly three out of four firefighters in this country serve as volunteer or paid-per-call. That means training nights after work, balancing family time, and still showing up when the tones drop.

Your equipment must be intuitive. It must be dependable. It must work the same way every time you put it on. AirBoss was designed with simplicity and consistency in mind so every firefighter —career or volunteer —can operate with confidence.
