6. Let’s Put a “Lid” on Cooking Fires: Part I
Chief Stan Tarnowski
Fire Chief (Ret.) Stan Tarnowski, President of FIRESAFE Consulting Group, wrote this guest blog. It was the first in a series detailing how High-End Heat-Limiting Technology (HEHLT) can prevent food-on-the-stove fires.
“All wonderful rationalizations for us to not “think outside the box”, right? Well, I will share some information with you over the next few segments that will convince you that there is something that you and every department in every community can do!
Technology is a wonderful thing! We think of technology as our laptop, desk top, iPad, iPhone, e-reader, and all other modes of info gathering and sharing resources in our daily lives. But technology that helps us do our job needn’t stop there. Thanks to some leading edge design technicians in the private sector, we now have cooking appliance technology that can help us to effectively make cooking fires—particularly those that result from deep frying—a thing of the past. Seriously.”
