Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve C-130H aircraft equipped with the modular airborne firefighting system (MAFFS) are deploying lines of retardant with high levels of precision. The retardant allows firefighters on the ground to more effectively contain wildfires throughout California. The red coloring allows aircrews and ground firefighters to see where the retardant has been dropped. This makes any gaps in the retardant lines easily visible. With time, the red color fades away.

www.drifire.com This video shows field testing and testimonials from firemen about DRIFIRE fr clothing. Fighting fires is an extreme battle, and DRIFIRE Comfortable FR Wear offers you next-to-skin protection that won't burn, or melt and drip onto your skin, making sure that your side always has an advantage. With the proper protective flame-resistant clothing, including base-layer shirts that help to regulate your skin temperature and keep you drier to help prevent steam burns, you have the armor you need to withstand extreme temperatures and exposure to flames. While protection against direct exposure to fire is critical, the dangers you face as a firefighter also include the potential for heat stress and exhaustion, as well as steam burns from evaporating sweat that can become trapped between your layers of protection. DRIFIRE fireman shirts are designed to feel like your favorite cotton tee, while offering you permanent flame resistance, excellent wicking, and significantly faster drying times than cotton t-shirts, to keep you drier while you work. Our next-to-skin shirts and pants also offer odor resistance to keep you fresh through long days and nights. And the best part is that all of our safety and comfort features are permanent, meaning they won't wash or wear out. Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com

I know the title is a little bit long but there was a lot to include lol :) FnaticMSI had previously beat Flame Retardant 3-1 and so they only needed to win 2 games in the final whereas, Flame Retardant needed to win 4. Both teams took 1 map each and thanks to Swizz, Candy and RnB, I was lucky enough to get a front row seat where I could record the whole final map. XLNC had played much better in other maps but there was a really nice part where he got a two piece followed by a turn on (kind of) 5-10 seconds later. (4:43 - 4:58) Hope you all enjoy!

A wildfire on Monday, August 22, threatened the Upper Little Warm Springs Creek Subdivision near Dubois, Wyoming. This video was taken from our property on Sugarfoot Trail. The Dubois Vol. Fire department, National Forest Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Fremont Co. Firefighters responded to the fire. Air Tankers from Rapid City, South Dakota and Pocatello, Idaho joined in the firefighting, dropping fire retardant to stop the fire. It was a neat thing to watch! Thanks so much to all those who helped in getting the fire under control and saving the subdivision! Not a single home was lost!

This second ChemSec short film about the EU RoHS directive takes a closer look at the problems with using brominated flame retardants and PVC in electronics, among other things stressing that brominated flame retardants and PVC can transform into dioxins and furans, which for example can cause cancer. This film also the emphasises the growing problem with electronic waste and highlights the risks with only restricting individual brominated flame retardants instead of the whole group.
