Black Diamond Fire boots Receive The Seal Of Acceptance From The American Podiatric Medical Association
The First and Only Fire Boot to Receive the Coveted APMA Seal

WOBURN, MA (March 9, 2010) – Black Diamond is pleased to announce it is the first fire boot company to be awarded the coveted Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). The APMA Seal of Acceptance was created to inform podiatric physicians and consumers about products whose quality, safety, and effectiveness promote good foot health.

In order to qualify for the Seal products must pass a grueling scientific evaluation by a panel of APMA members and rigorous testing at a recognized laboratory. The results are then evaluated by a committee of doctors of podiatric medicine who decide to grant or deny the use of the Seal.

“We are proud to be the first fire boots to be recognized and awarded the APMA Seal of Acceptance,” said Black Diamond President, Rob Mills. ”The APMA’s efforts to promote better foot health are consistent with our efforts to build boots that will support the brave men and women in the fire service as they provide world-class support and protection to our communities.”

Black Diamond is the leader in performance protective footwear and its boots are tested in the harshest conditions on a daily basis at fire departments around the world in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Canada and the United States of America. Utilizing proprietary footwear constructions and “best in class” components and materials such as CROSSTECH® and Ortholite®, Black Diamond builds a better boot for workers who demand all-day comfort, support and protection.

About Black Diamond Group, Inc.

Black Diamond is a leading brand of performance protective footwear. The company’s highly acclaimed fire boots are used by fire departments around the world and are developed with the finest, most durable materials and components to endure the extraordinary demands placed on firefighters.

Carbon VFC Responds to Head On Crash on Lincoln Highway

FF184 — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:00:41 +0000

Carbon VFC responded to a head-on accident on February 15th, 2010 on Lincoln Highway. Here is the report from their site:

A vehicle driving the wrong way on the Lincoln Highway caused a head-on collision involving two cars around 2030 hours (8:30PM) on Monday, February 15th, 2010. The crash sent one person to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The first priority for firefighters after arriving on the accident scene was to ensure that all occupants involved received the medical attention they needed. After assisting Mutual Aid paramedics with packaging and loading of the sole patient onto the ambulance, fire and rescue crews provided traffic control while the Pennsylvania State Police completed their report. Once a tow truck arrived, crews finished cleaning all debris off of the highway and personnel were then returned by Lieutenant Joe Kuhn, who had command of the incident.
