Our FireAde 2000 firefighting agent renders flammable liquids inert protecting you and your firefighters. Its cooling properties prevent re-ignition and it uses a positive charge to attract and lock up negative hydrocarbon molecules. This creates a cocoon of separation within the molecules of the flammable liquid, snuffing out the fire by making the liquid or other material incapable of burning.

Public servants are a special breed. They should respect each other and support each other. Their actions at a scene should be integrated and seamless. For me, it is embarrassing to see cops arresting firefighters and medics at a scene.

The UK Aerial Debate � Part 1
By Steve Dudeney, FireRescue1 columnist
In the early days of organized firefighting in the UK, there were firemen who manned the manual pumps and escape men who manned "street fire escapes." These were 50 ft. wheeled ladders that were strategically located on street corners with a watchman who, with the help of passers-by, would wheel a ladder to rescue those trapped within the burning building. In essence, early organized firefighting and rescue in England's capital was carried out in a manner similar to that recognized today only in the United States and Canada � namely engine men carrying out the firefighting and ladder men carrying out the rescue work.

"I will take as much reflective as you can squeeze on a vest. I have had many close calls over the years because drivers claim they couldn't see us. More reflective vests are a good idea for the firefighter doing extrication when he backs away from his work and finds himself in traffic. They are not that cumbersome and your life is worth it."
