A local man died when he ran into his burning house to try and save his wheelchair-bound wife.
The wife's body was found in the living room. The man, Roy Farmer, died of smoke inhalation after being found by firemen near the side door.
*shakes head sadly*
I don't know why I post these stories. These aren't people I know.
I wonder if there is a way to market "EEBD's" for civilian use. A two minute tent of air over the head could save so many lives, I think it would be worth pursuing.
ReplyDeleteThen again, Lawyers as a class will try to sue the makers of EEBD's for making people take risks.

They would have been useful in the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001, wouldn't they? I think I've seen such things, with a plastic hood that fits over the face.
ReplyDeleteYes, the same ones that come in an orange canister, located at the foot of each rack onboard US Naval vessels.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much each unit costs? I would buy ten. Two for each room and one each for training.
