Fire Cam, Leading Supplier of Firefighting Camera Equipment, Has Acquired

Blackjack, Provider of Light and Camera Mounts for Helmets

Veteran firefighters join forces to provide new products for emergency services departments.

Belleville, IL, May 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Firefighting and emergency services suppliers Fire Cam (
firecam.com) announced today the acquisition of Blackjack Global, producers of light and camera mounts
for fire helmets. Both companies were founded by veteran firefighters, providing innovative solutions for
emergency services professionals. The acquisition will allow Fire Cam to provide customers with the best
mounts available for Fire Cam's high quality and heat-resistant helmet cameras.

Blackjack mounts are the global industry standard for attaching lights and cameras to fire helmets. The
Blackjack was designed by Chris McCorkle when he was working as a fire fighter for the Phoenix Fire
Department. McCorkle's simple and almost indestructible design placed the light under the brim of the
helmet - a design innovation that removed the possibility of the light snagging on anything, and placed
the light in a functional, line of sight position. Blackjack now produces several patented mounts
addressing different helmet mounting needs for firefighters. 3 out of 4 of the most popular helmet mounts
used in firefighting today are Blackjack models.

Helmet mounted cameras are standard equipment for emergency operations, providing critical footage
and data for training and investigations. The Fire Cam 1080 and 1080 Mini capture high definition photos
and videos, yet weigh just a few ounces and can be mounted to any fire helmet. These fire helmet cams
perform in low light and can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit for short periods while
also performing underwater.

“When the idea of Fire Cam acquiring the company was first introduced, we knew it was the perfect fit,”
says Chris McCorkle of Blackjack. “We have known Rob and Jami Schield for over a decade, and we
have worked together to build our products and our brands in the fire market. We share the same passion
for quality products and helping firefighters.” “Blackjack reinvented how flashlights are attached to fire
helmets,” says Rob Schield, Fire Cam's owner. “This technology allowed us to attach our heat resistant
helmet cameras, using their patented mounts.

“We look at this as an excellent opportunity to add more value for our customers and to grow our
company.”

Fire Cam strives to be the premier provider of high quality, innovative, industry-specific camera
technologies for first responders and related markets worldwide.
