Deltin Corp. invented a new device with integrated technologies for first responders. The product is known as HaloTrac, a wireless location and physiological monitoring helmet device. The HaloTrac system can actively monitor the location and physiological conditions, including the carbon monoxide in the blood of each user. By identifying those first responders in immediate peril, countless deaths and serious bodily injuries could be prevented. This system also has the potential to save governments and private companies millions of dollars annually.
Ron Cabrera, President of Deltin Corp.
Mr. Cabrera has specialized knowledge, training, and experience regarding the methods by which first responders perform their duties and the conditions in which they must perform their work. He has expertise in the types of equipment purchased by fire departments, the current technology in use by these fire departments, and the budgetary guidelines under which such equipment is purchased. As such, he is uniquely qualified to lead the development and implementation of this system in the primary market.
Mr. Cabrera has been with the Los Angeles County Fire Department for 26 Years, and for the past 6 Years he has been a Battalion Fire Chief (Manager). His responsibilities include emergency operations command. He assumes the position of Incident Commander at all types of emergency incidents; building fires, brush fires, plane crashes, mass-casualty, hazardous materials, and swift water helicopter rescues. He manages many fire personnel at several fire stations in multiple cities. He responds to emergency incidents for resource management and incident stabilization strategy. He is responsible for the operations and safety of the fire officers,
firefighters, and other personnel during emergency incidents. He has coordinated mutual aid response and emergency planning activities with other federal, state, and local agencies.
Mr. Cabrera’s responsibilities also included management and administration of fire captains, fire investigators, fire inspectors, and professional staff. The units he oversaw included the Arson Investigation Unit, Schools & Institutions Inspection Units, and Petroleum Chemical Inspection Unit. He has been involved with fire investigation coordination with the following local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies; ATF, FBI, DEA, CHP, DA, County Sheriff Departments, Insurance Investigators, and City Police Departments.
He has assisted with establishing regulations and procedures with the California State Fire Marshall Office on illegal fireworks, Fire Code interpretation, compliance, and amendment issues.
Mr. Cabrera was a Fire Captain (Supervisor) for 10 years. His responsibilities included Emergency Operations Supervision, initial incident command at all types of emergency incidents, and supervision and administration of station personnel and facilities.
For the first 10 years of Mr. Cabrera’s career he was a Firefighter Specialist and a Firefighter Paramedic. His responsibilities included driving and operating the fire apparatus, conducting fire inspections, fire suppression operations, and providing basic and advance emergency medical treatment.
Mr. Cabrera received a Letter of Commendation for his actions at a near fatal rescue operation, which involved rescuing a trapped firefighter during a large commercial building fire. This rescue operation became a safety training presentation at major fire departments across the country. This incident inspired Mr. Cabrera to search for technology that would allow him, and all Incident Commanders, the ability to know the location and physiological condition of every firefighter on scene.
