FIRECOM COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
- You don’t have to shout to communicate with your team.
For the past 40 years, Firecom has had the privilege of helping firefighters and first responders to communicate clearly, whether in the apparatus or on the fireground. From our completely wireless headsets to our rugged, durable intercom systems, Firecom has built the most trusted name in the industry by continuously developing innovative products. With a Firecom headset, you can have a natural, real-time conversation hands-free while maintaining situational awareness and preventing hearing loss.
CLEAR, HANDS-FREE COMMUNICATION
Our headsets use patented DECT® technology to support hands-free full-duplex crew communication on the rig and across the fireground. This means no time delays, and no waiting your turn to speak. Everyone can hear and be heard when they have something to say, even in loud environments.
Firecom’s listen-through technology allows you to control how much ambient sound to let into your headset for safety and situational awareness without having to remove an ear dome. The headsets have external mics and push-button control so you can mix outside sound with comms traffic for precise situational awareness. You’re able to hear approaching traffic, voices around you, or someone trying to get your attention.
