RECOIL LED TECHNOLOGY~(TM) FOCUSES ON IMPROVING FIRE SERVICE SAFETY

摘要

Nothing tests a firefight er like fire rescue in a smoke-filled building―haz-mat disposal, medical calls, auto extraction, and other emergencies not withstanding, The many obstacles may include an unknown floor plan; limited visibility, noise, and breathing; and a rapidly closing window of opportunity to find trapped or unconscious residents or firefighters in a smoke-filled room. Add unexpected equipment failure to the scenario, and the result could be a cascading series of events ending in disaster. In these conditions, one critical tool is the flashlight, which also can be quite vulnerable. If the bulb breaks when the flashlight is accidentally dropped off a landing or down a flight of stairs, if its light is too dim because of weak batteries, or if the light simply fails to penetrate the smoke, firefighter safety may be jeopardized.
