Vests Shine Like Beacons in the Night
Edited by Robert H. Williams
American
Red Cross workers in the greater New York area who work with first
responders often at night now are equipped with Vis-Tac load-bearing
and Vis-Mat non-load-bearing vests that come with Scotchlite reflective
material.
The workers care for victims, provide water to firefighters and
police, and distribute cleanup kits, among other duties.
The light-reflecting vests are made by Head Lites of St. Paul,
Minn., and the 3M Company there.
