When the Osceola (Wisconsin) Fire Department needs to spring into action, it does so more quickly and safely with an innovative CoilBoss Retractile Cord from Northwire, Inc., Technical Cable. Each of the six vehicles in the department’s fleet is outfitted with a CoilBoss Retractile power cord that is mounted to the ceiling and plugs into the vehicle when parked in the fire station. With an extended length of 15 feet (4.57 m), it ensures the vehicle remains fully charged. When a vehicle’s engine starts, the automatic ejection device detaches the coil cord, which retracts safely upward 3 feet (0.91 m) and away from nearby vehicles.
