New tech

This is different. From a web site of a relatively new company a different type of fire equipment. Is this where we are heading. I could imagine the cost would go down as thees types of systems are developed if this takes off.

Here is some information on a small company which develops equipment to save the lives of firefighters. The story is worth hearing.
FireDrakeIndustries is a very small company but has a really big plan. The VP of this company is a member of Firelink and her spouse is Fire Captain in the state of CA. This tiny but mighty 3-man business was started by herself, a retired firefighter and a mechanical engineer. In only 9 months beginning in Oct of 07 their small team started the company from the ground up and created their first piece of life-saving equipment. They intend to create many more if they can make it. Like so many businesses, funding from private investors has dried up due to fear surrounding the economic conditions and are struggling to stay alive long enough to market this incredible tool for firefighters.
