Dedicated to Community Safety and Health

JHB group is a team of safety professionals with decades of experience. We create mobile platforms for fire departments, police, military, and healthcare professionals that are used for public safety education, recruitment and training, and community outreach.
 
We are most known for our patented Fire Safety Simulator, built for fire safety education purposes. It replaced out-dated educational units that don’t get used, with something that is, not only fairly priced, but is also exciting, effective and efficient.
 
Our drive to build innovative solutions meant that, in early 2020, we saw the urgent need for safe drive-thru testing units for public health emergencies - and our crew fast-tracked the Health Incident Trailer. 

These are just 2 examples of our crew's dedication to helping state and local agencies look after their communities while making the most of limited resources.

OUR MISSION

At JHB Group, we break boundaries, challenge tradition, and embrace innovation. We believe in fairly priced products that are exciting, effective, efficient, and are inclusive for all ages and mobilities to experience.

We aim to share the key elements of our products and services with the community in order to become the main game changer for public safety education, recruitment and training, and community engagement platforms.​

MORE ABOUT OUR BACKGROUND

The History of JHB Group, Inc.

JHB Group, Inc is the slow evolution of trying to be successful outside of the firehouse. We all have side jobs as firefighters and as a progression from the FireZone, Fire Safety Simulators is where we are today. 
 
Fire Safety Simulators was not the intention, but a surprise that has provided an opportunity to make fire safety education better, while also discovering innovation and accessibility along the way.  
 
The ironic fact is that the first mobile platforms we fabricated were to be sold as mobile events trailers for team building for businesses. The use by fire departments for public education was actually an adjunct idea that has shaped into a real and impactful improvement for public safety education, outreach and even recruitment. 
 
Now, we are in this to break boundaries and create mobile platforms that embrace common sense, energy efficiency, real world scenarios, quality and fair pricing. In an industry that is all about tradition, we welcome the challenge.
