Direct Selling Your Safety


This audio is almost eight minutes of concern about a company that is direct selling safety products. Overall their products look good. Their research seems accurate (to a degree).

My concern is their approach and their level of expertise. The persons "presenting" the safety demonstration are not qualified and educated safety personnel. Most have no experience in safety at all.

Know what you are getting into when you attend a "free" dinner and safety presentation. Get your questions answered and follow those up with answers from credible agencies outside the presentation before you buy.

And most importantly… Have an established and practiced plan. Know how to react when an alarm sounds. Just because you THINK you know what you would do doesn’t mean you’ll be able to do it when the time comes. Practice! and make wise choices about your safety.

Firefighters gather in Indianapolis for FDIC

Technology in the fire service

Each year, firefighters from around the world converge upon the city of Indianapolis to attend the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) hosted by Penwell Publications. I have personally attended this several times in the past. It is a fascinating experience to see all of the new technologies being used to protect citizens everywhere.

CBS visits FDIC

CBS has made the following video available for us to share. I enjoy Dave Price’s approach to covering this event. His bravery in trying new things is quite evident as he steps into the role of firefighter.

Thousands of firemen worldwide attend an Indianapolis conference to learn about new products and techniques for saving lives. Dave Price demonstrates some of them.
