Revolutionizing First Responder Safety with the Lit Traffic Vest

<p>What happens when a tragedy exposes a problem with equipment first responders have relied on for decades?</p><p>On this episode of <strong>Two Chiefs, One Mic</strong>, we sit down with Don Campbell, creator of the <strong>Lit Traffic Vest</strong>, an LED safety vest designed to make police officers, firefighters, and other first responders more visible while working dangerous roadway scenes.</p><p>The idea came after the tragic death of Officer Dale Woods, who was struck by a vehicle while directing traffic in 2019. Don recognized that traditional reflective vests can become difficult to see against the flashing lights, headlights, and visual chaos of an emergency scene.</p><p>His solution was simple: <strong>instead of relying on reflected light, create your own.</strong></p><p>Don shares how that idea became the Lit Traffic Vest, why he chose green LED lighting, what he learned through real-world testing, and why he believes better visibility can save first responders&#39; lives.</p><p>It&#39;s a conversation about tragedy, innovation, officer safety, and challenging the way we&#39;ve always done things.</p><p>🎙️ <strong>Two Chiefs, One Mic</strong> with Chief Mike Hawkins and retired Chief Scott Hughes.</p><p></p>
