We need your help! Fire Technology Ltd., producer of the recently released safety video series for firefighters and medics, “Firefighting: It`s a Risky Business,” is producing a new video, “The Real World of Chemistry.” It will show the facts about chemicals in vivid, full-screen demonstrations such as fuming, water reactivity, and vapor pressure. The video is intended for responders, carriers, manufacturers, and users. The reactions and illustrations will be videoed in a specially constructed fume hood.

In addition to the studio video, we need “B-ROLL” footage of real incidents involving all types of situations including corrosives, flammables, and oxidizers–in fact, all of the DOT classes. BETA, S-VHS, or Hi-8 footage is preferred, but all tapes will be considered. “B-ROLL” selected for the videos will be paid for at the prevailing rates. If you have video, please contact Fire Technology Ltd.; 8142 Whitburn Drive (102); Clayton, MO 63105-2445; pager (314) 848-1716; fax (314) 721-4671; phone (314) 721-6905.
