Zico's QUIC-BAR, the tool was awarded to randomly selected winners at Fire Expo 2011
Zico specialises in fire and safety apparatus including forcible entry tools

Ziamatic Corp. is pleased to announce Robert Lemin of the Warwick Fire Department and Stephen Oplinger of the Trexlertown Fire Company as the winners of the Ziamatic QUIC-BAR Sweepstakes.

The Ziamatic QUIC-BAR Sweepstakes took place at the 2011 Fire Expo in Harrisburg, PA, where attendees were encouraged to enter a drawing to win one (1) 30” QUIC-BAR with Rings – Chrome Finish, Model SQB-30-CR; a drop-forged steel Halligan bar with built-in rings to accommodate a carrying strap (carrying strap included with prize). The two winners were selected at random following the show.

“I do not normally win, so I was pleasantly surprised,” said Past Chief Robert Lemin on the news that he had won. “The products from Zico I’ve used over my 30 years are good. They’ve always been reliable and long lasting. You can never have too many Halligans.”

“They’re a tool you can always rely on to get the job done,” said Captain Stephen Oplinger. “Great way to get a new bar for the new apparatus we’ll be receiving this year. The guys will love it.”

The Warwick Fire Department of Warwick, NY is fully staffed by approximately 100 volunteers and services a population of over 15,000 residents.

The Trexlertown Fire Company of Trexlertown, PA consists of 30 volunteers and services a population of over 14,000 residents in a 26 mile primary response area.

The QUIC-BAR’s solid, drop-forged steel design provides increased strength and durability, allowing for faster and more efficient forcible entry, removal of sheet rock/panels and other utility needs.  The QUIC-BAR is available in both 30” and 36” lengths with a choice of chrome or clear-coat finish, and includes heavy-duty, built-in rings that will accommodate most standard carrying straps (sold separately). These models are made in the USA.
