TESTIMONIALS

"Captain Brad Smith of the Dearborn Fire Department has worked to allow the Taylor Fire Department to borrow their BullEx Intelligent Training System (I.T.S.) to teach fire extinguisher training on several occasions. Captain Smith clearly values public fire safety education and has proven he puts the safety of citizens first.

I have been a Fire Inspector, Public Fire Safety Educator with the City of Taylor Fire Department for 10 years. I have instructed diverse groups of the public on the safe operation and use of portable fire extinguishers on many occasions during this time. I have tried nearly every way imaginable to safely instruct our citizens in the practice of utilizing a portable fire extinguisher. The BullEx I.T.S. is by far the safest, most efficient, economical and environmentally friendly way to instruct a fire extinguisher training class to any public group.

I recently used the I.T.S. to instruct a culinary arts class from our local High School. When presented with the request of the Culinary Arts Teacher my immediate challenges were: #1 the safety of the 60 teenage students and #2 the economics of discharging extinguishers 60 times. ABC dry powder extinguishers or CO2 extinguishers would be cost prohibitive with this group. Utilizing flammable liquids in a burn pan is too dangerous and is environmentally unsound. Using water can extinguishers and ordinary combustibles would lead to a fire hazard on school grounds and a big mess to clean-up after class. Having used the I.T.S. on several occasions prior I liked the safety of the emergency shut-off switch on the hand-held controller and that I could simply refill the Smart Extinguisher on site with water and air pressure – and the best part, no messy clean-up.

The class went extremely well, every student that wanted an opportunity to use a portable fire extinguisher got the chance – a great confidence builder. The hands-on experience combined with classroom instruction and reinforcement materials gave the students a positive experience they can utilize for the rest of their lives. The teacher even invited us back for lunch. I am certain we will be invited back into the High School next year to teach the class again. I will be working with my administration to purchase a BullEx I.T.S. for our Department – quick set-up & pick-up, efficient, can handle large groups economically and most importantly - SAFE.
