167. Stop Drop and Roll w/ Fire Technology Innovations Apr 04, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we are playing with fire, literally. My guests today are Michael Friedman and John Tabaczk with Fire Technology Innovations. As welders we often overlook fire safety when welding and become rather complacent when it comes to our fire extinguishers and their proper use, inspection, and the amount of faith we have in that big red can. Fire Technology Innovations has put technology into a 70 year old piece of equipment to make it safer and more reliable for the users in an effort to help keep everyone safe.
