BLACKHAWK! Products Group said its P.U.L.S.E. Bag and U.S.A.R Bag make packing up and loading out easier for fire and emergency medical service personnel.

The P.U.L.S.E. Bag (Professional’s Urgent Loading Systems Enhanced) is 30 inches long by 16 inches wide by 14 inches deep, and is constructed in red or black 1000 denier nylon with reflective cording. It has zippered mesh dividers in all compartments. The pull handle hides away for safe stowage, and the wrap-around carry handle and top handle are reflective. The corners are reinforced for long wear, and the top features a clear window pocket for maps or instructions.

The U.S.A.R. Bag (Urban Search and Rescue) is the largest load-out bag offered. Featuring a hideaway pull handle, full wrap-around carry handle and a two end cap padded handles (reflective) for a two-person carry, the U.S.A.R. bag has webbing on the sides for additional pouches and accessories.

Made from red or black 1000 denier nylon with reinforced stitching and reflective gray piping, the load-out bag has multiple D-rings for external securing of items or palletizing. Reinforced corners and stiffeners are added to the bottom of the bag, and the company said durable heavy-duty in-line skate wheels provide years of use.

The U.S.A.R load-out bag is 43 inches long by 15 inches wide by 15 inches deep with foam padding throughout to protect contents.
