Our History:
As of 1986, Vern Wieberdink, a diesel and automotive mechanic and college instructor by trade, had already been on a volunteer fire department for 21 years. Vern was getting increasingly frustrated with the equipment they were using in the fire service, particularly when it came to SCBAs. Very few SCBAs of the mid 80s supplied enough air for a hard-working firefighter and the quality and reliability of them was remarkably poor. Vern went out in search of a better SCBA. After thoroughly examining all of the products available at the time, Vern concluded that one company stood head and shoulders above the rest, so he traveled to Pittsburgh to learn more about Dräger. They forged a long lasting relationship and a new company, called Alex Air Apparatus, Inc. Vern was determined to show his new Dräger SCBA to everybody that he could, and it was very well received. By offering a quality product and following up with unmatched service expertise, a loyal customer base began to form and Alex Air Apparatus began to grow. While on the road, Vern had many requests for Alex Air Apparatus to broaden their equipment offerings, specifically in the areas of PPE, extrication and breathing air compressors. It wasn’t long before Vern realized that he needed help, so he set his sights on one of the best field service technicians he knew, his son Kyle. Eventually, Vern would retire (sort-of) and Kyle would take his place, turning Alex Air Apparatus into a 2nd generation, family owned business. Today, Alex Air Apparatus is still based on the same founding principles that it was 30 years ago; providing superior equipment up front with a strong focus on service after the sale. Under Kyle’s stewardship, Alex Air Apparatus has continued to grow and expand throughout the upper Midwest. Product lines have also expanded to include global industry leaders such as Bauer Compressors, Hurst Jaws of Life, Dräger SCBA and Viking Life Saving Equipment. Alex Air Apparatus also offers a fully certified, mobile fleet of service technicians to ensure a long and trouble-free life for your equipment.

We can tell you this much: Inside one of the world’s most protected vehicles, Dräger Air is relied upon.
Because protection is not only about armor, steel, and reinforced glass. It is also about safeguarding the air within.
The rest? Let’s just say the sketch reveals more than we can.

Turn Your Head. Not Your Regulator.
Firefighters are constantly looking up, down, and around — checking conditions, scanning ceilings, and keeping track of the crew.
The AirBoss regulator connection rotates a full 360°, allowing the hose and LDV to move naturally with the firefighter’s head. That freedom of movement prevents binding, torque, and restriction so the regulator stays out of the way while you work.
When your equipment moves with you, the job feels smoother. See how AirBoss supports performance on the fireground at https://ersusa.co/3P5eQY7 {Reliable Performance Page}

From Spacelab to the Space Shuttle to today’s commercial missions, Dräger technology has helped make spaceflight safer.
In orbit, you can’t open a window to check the air. Crews and spacecraft depend on reliable systems to monitor the atmosphere and help verify that the oxygen they need is present.
That responsibility has followed Dräger from research laboratories aboard Spacelab to NASA’s Space Shuttle and into the era of commercial spaceflight.
The equipment may be small, but the mission is enormous: Help protect the air that protects the crew.
From the fireground to low Earth orbit, Dräger continues to develop Technology for Life wherever people need to breathe.

See the Whole Fireground Clearly
When you mask up, your world gets smaller. What you can see through that lens matters.
The FPS 7000 facepiece used with AirBoss provides panoramic visibility with minimal distortion, giving firefighters a wider, clearer view of what’s happening around them. Searching a room, reading conditions overhead, keeping track of your crew — the clearer your view, the better your decisions.
Visibility inside the mask shouldn’t hold you back. See how AirBoss supports performance on the American fireground at https://ersusa.co/3P5eQY7 {Reliable Performance Page}
