Roanoke Fire-EMS Department
"Roanoke Fire-EMS is committed to the safety of the citizens and visitors to the City of Roanoke.
We had a fire safety public education program in place but it was missing something. We did not
have the tool to teach people how to exit their homes safely in the event of a fire. In September
of 2010 all of that changed when Roanoke Fire-EMS took delivery of the BullEx Fire Safety
Trailer.
Our Department did a lot of research before the purchase of a fire safety trailer. BullEx was the
winner hands down among their competitors. The customer service we have received from
BullEx has been exceptional! When we “debuted” our trailer for our community during Fire
Prevention Week, BullEx sent a representative to our event to make sure that everything was
running smoothly. Many companies do not exhibit this type of exemplary service any more. I
was truly impressed.
The Fire Safety Trailer has proven to be a key component of our public education programs. We
visit schools and local events with our traveling safety house! Everyone that visits the trailer is
amazed how realistic the fire and smoke simulations are. Adults love the fire extinguisher
training in the kitchen and the children are learning so much about what to do if they woke up to
their smoke detector sounding. I know that countless lives may be saved because of the use of this
trailer.
Our Department has also utilized the severe weather package on the trailer. This is truly an
amazing component. With changing weather in Southwest Virginia, we are able to show our
community how to stay safe should a tornado or severe storm happen in our community.
We have had several other departments in neighboring communities come by to see our trailer.
They too have been very impressed. We are truly grateful to BullEx for all of your assistance
with our trailer and for making such a fine, quality product.
