LEADER fans / exhaust air extractors

The fans developed by LEADER are designed to guarantee rapid pressurization of volumes during operations, giving firefighters an operational advantage. Each fan undergoes rigorous testing to adapt to specific situations, such as positive or negative pressure ventilation. The range includes thermal, electric, hydraulic and battery-powered fans, with capacities ranging from 25,000 to over 1,000,000 m³/h, ensuring maximum efficiency during rescue, attack or smoke extraction operations. 

To enhance performance, LEADER uses Easy Pow'Air technology to generate a concentrated, powerful jet of air, increasing fan flow by drawing in ambient air. This technology provides additional manoeuvring space for intervention teams, maintaining optimum efficiency at a distance of 2 to 6 metres from the sash, while reducing noise. What's more, the fans are easy to move and store, with simplified maintenance, ensuring great practicality for rescue teams.

LEADER thermal imaging cameras

The thermal imaging cameras developed by LEADER enable firefighters to visualize victims and sources of fire through opaque smoke, improving their responsiveness when responding to emergencies. These portable infrared cameras are made from robust materials to withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and smoke. They are ergonomically designed for easy handling, even with firefighter's gloves, and feature 3.5“ or 4” screens for optimum imaging quality. 

With a wide temperature range (-40°C to +1150°C) and 5 color modes, these cameras are indispensable for locating victims and homes. More advanced models can record photos and videos, and some include a wireless transmission kit to send live images to a PC or tablet, facilitating operations. Optional accessories, such as a carrying handle or protective cover, can complement these cameras to enhance their use in the field.
