HiViz Lighting Inc., a leader in advanced LED warning and emergency lighting solutions for fire, rescue, and public safety vehicles, is excited to be participating in FDIC International 2026, North America's premier fire and rescue conference and exposition.
The event will take place April 23-25, 2026, at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. FDIC International draws thousands of fire service professionals worldwide for hands-on training, educational sessions, and the latest innovations in firefighting and emergency response technology.
HiViz Lighting will exhibit its newest products and advancements, delivering enhanced visibility, reliability, and connectivity for first responders. Attendees are invited to visit the HiViz booth to experience:
NEW Whirl-E-Bird™ — A modern reimagining of the classic spinning warning light.
This innovative rotating emergency beacon honors the iconic tradition of front-mounted rotating lights while incorporating today's LED efficiency, durability, and performance—offering a superior alternative for fire apparatus and emergency vehicles.
NEW Redline™ by FireTech® — Emergency Lighting for Light Duty Vehicles
With Redline™, HiViz will now offer a unified lighting ecosystem for every vehicle in the fleet, from heavy apparatus and ambulances to command rigs, pickups and personal response units. Redline™ cuts through the noise of traditional options by speaking directly to what matters most to firefighters: who they are, why they serve, and the unshakable preparedness they demand.
NEW Guardian Mini — 5-Colors, 1 SKU
This single fixture replaces dozens of SKUs needed for any function: red/blue for response, amber for traffic direction, green for command or steady-burn, white as aux scene, all in one sealed Class 1 warning light. Software-defined and HiViz Connect® compatible, the Guardian Mini enables use of the same part number everywhere on the rig and across your entire fleet, reducing inventory clutter and simplifying ordering.
HiViz Connect® and NEW FireTech Demo Trucks — Built for Throughput, Designed for Scale
At the core of the booth is a new HiViz demo truck, showcasing HiViz’s 5-color OMEN warning light bar, a new 5-color addition to the Guardian family, the Guardian “Mini”, and live demonstrations of the most throughput optimized smart lighting system on the market; HiViz Connect® (HVC).
Additional system features like smart water level indication, V2V sync, and multiple response modes will also be demonstrated, highlighting how HiViz Connect extends beyond lighting into broader vehicle functionality.
Advanced Integration with HAAS Alert Safety Cloud®
On the opposite side of the booth, HiViz will showcase its integration with HAAS Alert Safety Cloud®, demonstrating real-time communication between emergency vehicles and surrounding traffic.
This area will feature a next-generation HiViz technology demonstration centered around a new capability called “Follow Friendly.” Follow Friendly lighting modes are designed to solve a common problem during emergency response: when multiple vehicles are running together, the intensity of forward- and rear-facing warning lights can create significant glare for drivers within the group.
The HAAS integration display will include a fully functional proof-of-concept vehicle showcasing a complete smart light-duty build, including a sneak peek at a protype, next-generation multi-color warning lightbar and HiViz’s new 5-color Guardian Mini™ fixtures. This system demonstrates how HiViz Connect® can apply advanced control logic to existing hardware platforms, enabling new functionality through software and connectivity.
An immersive visual experience will allow attendees to see how these systems operate in real-world conditions, highlighting the future of connected emergency vehicle technology.
