Fire Rescue Backup Power

MoXIE Power for Fire Departments & Rescue Operations

Enabling Mission-Critical Response Without the Noise, Fuel, or Failure of Generators

Why MoXIE Works for Fire & Rescue

Instant Deployment — No Grid Needed

Fire/rescue teams often operate in disaster zones, remote areas, or places without stable power. MoXIE provides portable 120V/230V AC (or 208V 3-phase with sync), meaning it can power chargers, lights, fans, and even small compressors directly on-site.

Battery Charging Hub
MoXIE can act as a mobile charging station for:

- - - e-pneumatic rescue tools (Lukas, Holmatro, Hurst, etc.)
    - radios, tablets, drone batteries, and thermal imaging gear

Cold Weather & Harsh Conditions
MoXIE Cells operate from -40°F to 140°F — ideal for fire departments working in extreme conditions where other battery packs fail.

Compact + Transportable
MoXIE doesn’t require a lift-gate or box truck. Fits in SUVs, pickups, or even standard passenger vehicles — great for departments without massive apparatus.

Scalable Power Output
Whether a team needs to power a ventilation fan, lighting array, or a multi-bay battery charger, MoXIE can scale with 1–3 Cells to deliver up to 9kWh of energy.

Redundancy + Safety
Battery-based — so there’s no fuel, no fumes, and no need to wait for a generator tech if something fails. Can even hotswap cells using MoXIE Matrix to avoid interruptions during live rescue operations.

Compatible With Essential Fire/Rescue Tools
MoXIE can power or recharge:

Holmatro / HURST battery chargers for spreaders, cutters, and rams
LED Scene lights and tower lighting systems
Ventilation / smoke ejector fans
Thermal imaging camera chargers (FLIR, Seek, etc.)
Portable communication gear (radios, repeaters, Wi-Fi hotspots)
Drone charging hubs (DJI Enterprise, Autel Evo, etc.)
Tablet/laptop-based command systems
Medical refrigeration units
Portable air compressors (for pneumatic tools or airbags)

Multi-Voltage DC Outputs
MoXIE provides 14V, 28V, and 48V regulated DC outputs — ideal for powering field radios, communications gear, and tactical lighting systems without needing external converters. 48V support enables higher-efficiency lighting and networking gear, reducing current draw and heat output.

No Fuel, No Fumes, No Mess
Forget lugging around gas cans, dealing with spills, or breathing in exhaust while trying to focus on the job. MoXIE eliminates fuel handling entirely — no fumes, no risk of leaks, and no smell sticking to your gear or your hands.

While modern departments rely heavily on battery-powered e-pneumatic tools, they’re not immune to runtime limitations during prolonged incidents. MoXIE’s ability to be quickly wheeled into position as a fail-safe backup battery hub means that when spreaders, cutters, or rams begin to run low, responders aren’t left waiting. Units can be deployed curbside, at staging zones, or directly beside the truck to keep rescue batteries charging and operations moving without delay.

Case Study: Fire Department / Rescue Deployment

Background

Modern fire departments are increasingly turning to electric rescue tools, high-lumen scene lighting, communication systems, and drone surveillance — all of which require reliable, portable power. Traditional solutions rely on vehicle inverters or gas generators, both of which are heavy, loud, and prone to failure in the harsh environments first responders face.

The Challenge
During a multi-vehicle highway collision in freezing weather, the local fire department deployed to assist with extrication and triage. While battery-powered spreaders and cutters were operational, several mission-critical accessories were not:

Scene lights needed consistent AC to maintain visibility
Ventilation fans were required to keep the area breathable
Battery chargers for rescue tools had to stay active to ensure continuous operation

Complicating the response:

Their truck-mounted inverter tripped under load
A backup generator on a rescue unit failed to start in sub-freezing temps
There was no easy access for refueling or replacement

The MoXIE Solution
The team deployed the MoXIE Solo System with two VITA Cells, transported in the back of a command SUV. Without needing any setup time or warm-up:

Lights, chargers, and fans were immediately powered via MoXIE’s 120V AC output
Using the MoXIE Matrix, responders hot-swapped a cell to keep power flowing without interruption
The system operated silently in close proximity to victims and responders
The department avoided trip hazards, eliminated fuel storage risks, and gained true off-grid power in under 60 seconds

Results

Mission success: Extrication tools remained charged, lighting stable, and environmental support active throughout the 3.5-hour response
Reduced complexity: No hoses, no refueling, no excessive noise
Fully portable: Handled by one responder and deployed without special equipment
Adaptable: System remained on-site to support tow crews and investigators post-incident

“”When our generator wouldn’t fire, MoXIE became our lifeline. It’s compact, it’s quiet, and it saved us critical minutes we didn’t have.”

Suggested MoXIE Configuration for Fire/Rescue Teams

Component	Role
MoXIE Solo Unit	AC output hub (3.6kW, 120V or 230V as needed)
3x Vita Cells	Up to 9kWh combined capacity, hot-swappable (operating range -4°F to 140°F)*
MoXIE Matrix	Smaller, more compact inverter that could fit in smaller spaces with a single cell
Flex Charger	Recharges cells from wall at Fire Station or vehicle inverter

*For colder or more wide ranging operable temperature range, choose Kodiak. 3x cells provide 6kWh combined capacity with an operational temperature range of -40°F to 140°F.

MoXIE empowers first responders with clean, dependable energy in any environment. Whether it’s powering extrication, lighting the scene, or keeping tools ready, MoXIE is the new essential gear for modern fire departments.
