SAM BOOST is the most accessible way to get the benefits of SAM on your existing fire truck.
With just a few weeks lead time, this retrofitted SAM system can add new safety and efficiency to your current truck.
Order SAM BOOST now while you wait for your new truck to be built, so your team can quickly take advantage of SAM’s benefits as the most efficient and easiest-to-use total waterflow control system in existence. SAM BOOST uses SAM technology to provide FASTER, SIMPLER, and SAFER hose line attacks on the fire.
SAM BOOST is different from the full SAM system. BOOST is a scaled down version that uses the core of the SAM system to allow up to 2 hose lines to have automated water flow that can be controlled at the nozzle. It’s the most efficient and cost effective way to equip even your newest team members with technology they can easily use, experience SAM on calls as you spec your next new truck, and improve fireground safety — all at the same time.
Benefits of SAM BOOST
- FASTER – BOOST doubles the productivity of the first crew, allowing them to establish a critical secondary water source more quickly.
- SIMPLER – SAM’s automation of parts of the pumping process saves time and simplifies decision making, alleviating stress for the pump operator.
- SAFER – A faster and simpler attack makes every fireground safer. Combined with an operator whose time is freed up to maintain visibility with the attack crew, SAM adds safety across dimensions.
The industry-disrupting SAM Smart Nozzle, with patent-pending N2P Technology, is designed to work with SAM BOOST to empower nozzle operators with more information and direct control than they’ve ever had before.
SAM BOOST benefits for the fire department
- FIRE GROUND IMPROVEMENTS – SAM BOOST multiplies the force of the crew, so you can:
- Double your work output in the first few minutes on scene with pumping automation.
- Be confidently aggressive with the first 500 gallons by reading vital tank level data on your nozzle.
- Dramatically improve safety by ensuring pressure control on the hand lines.
- Charge your own line.
- Get water to the seat of the fire faster.
- SAFETY – SAM BOOST improves overall fireground safety, including roadside safety, by repositioning engineers away from traffic speeding by the side of the truck.
- RECRUITING – SAM BOOST overcomes a common obstacle to recruiting the next generation of firefighters by equipping them with high tech – not mechanical – equipment.

SAM BOOST FAQs
-
Are there any limitations to installing SAM Boost on an existing truck?
- Not offered on Aerials at release
- Paired to specific pre-connected discharge (Cannot share nozzle with other discharges)
- Does not offer support for automation of Intakes, other than tank to pump or any other discharges other than the two pre-connects.
- At release only trucks newer than 7 years. Must be CAN controlled.
- Must have master gauges for initial release.
-
Will non-Boost lines pressures be impacted?
Boost will not “starve” additionally charged lines
-
What if connectivity to the nozzle is lost?
Nozzle pressure defaults to set psi, operates normal
-
Since the pressure can be controlled at the nozzle, what happens is a hose gets kinked?
The SAM BOOST system places a notification on the SAM Control Center if it detects a kinked hose (pressure is low at the nozzle and SAM increases the pressure at the valve, but nozzle pressure does not increase). SAM will increase pressure up to 25 psi to overcome. However, it will cease increasing pressure before any damage could be done to the line.
-
How durable is the nozzle?
SAM BOOST and SAM Nozzle have undergone rigorous testing.
