Reading the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment is a positive ex perience. As one colleague said to me, “I felt hopeful after reading it that so many smart people are throwing the weight of their institutions behind finding the answers to climate change.” I couldn’t agree more.
Just how important to society are fire extinguishers? It turns out VERY IMPORTANT! Often ignored, even by the fire community, these overlooked life safety devices play a vital role in keeping us safe. It is time for fire extinguishers to get the respect they deserve. For most people fire extinguishers are invisible red cans on walls, never looked at, rarely considered. To some they are the joke in a funny story about cooling beer in college or the laugh from the time they shot one off that drunken night. But in more than 600 businesses and non-residential structures every day in America they are the difference between a minor fire problem and a conflagration. Yes, you read that right, 600 time a day fire extinguishers put out fires in non-residential structures in the United States and many more around the globe.

en-Gauge is great proponent of Fire Extinguisher Training and believes it is a vital aspect of every organization's life safety program. With that said, we love how Bullex Digital Safety is using innovative technology to improve fire extinguisher training for thousands of people (major bonus, they do so while lowering live training's cost and impact on the environment).
Their Interactive Training System (I.T.S) uses a portable fire system that runs on propane to simulate a fire in its early stages. The program takes advantage of a Type A water extinguisher for the exercises (cutting down on expense and environmental impact, while allowing for quick and easy refills), even though the fire unit can simulate a class A, B or C fire. The system reacts to the technique that the student utilizes when trying to put out the fire and ensures that the student fight the fire effectively. With multiple levels of difficulty, the system can provide a challenge for all students going through fire extinguisher training.

They also offer a purely digital fire solution (called HotShot) in which students utilize real extinguishers to put out 'digital' fires, while still using real extinguishers. This provides a great solution for situations in which live fire is not an option.
Understanding fire and how to effectively fight it requires fire extinguisher training. With companies like BullEx leading the way, ensuring building occupants are ready in an emergency just got easier.
