 Nov. 22, 2011 – BloodSTOP works to control blood loss much faster than traditional
methods and is easily washed off with water as the wound begins to heal.
Once this 100-per-cent natural hemostatic agent is placed on a wound,
it reacts with blood and other body fluids to form a gel that seals the
wound and remains until it heals.
Originally developed for use in surgery, BloodSTOP can now be found in
emergency responders' first-aid kits, hospital emergency rooms, military
field applications and more. Using a proprietary method, cotton
cellulose is etherized and oxidized creating a highly absorbent,
water-soluble matrix; it is a non-irritating, environmentally friendly
and cost effective method for treating many different wounds. Since
there are no adhesives used there is no discomfort or disruption of
wound surfaces caused by the removal of bandaging materials.

 Nov. 4, 2011 – Upon arriving at the scene of a vehicle accident, emergency responders can launch the Extraction Zones Pro app and select the make and model of the damaged vehicles from an extensive databank in the pop-up list. The side and top view of the vehicles will display all areas of concern that are crucial to a safe and efficient extrication of trapped victims. Areas featured in these two views include ultra high-strength structural reinforcements, high-voltage hybrid batteries and high-voltage cables, airbags and airbag canisters, seatbelt pretensioners, fuel tanks and 12-volt batteries.
The vehicle schematics allow the user to immediately see all dangerous areas of concern that they are attempting to avoid. The application also features accompanying notes, specific to the model, providing additional helpful information such as the amount of time the high voltage lines or the SRS system will continue to carry a power current after being disengaged.
This app is available for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (requires iOS 3.0 or later) or any Android powered smartphones or tablets. For more details, e-mail

 Oct. 26, 2011 – Major changes in the 2012 NFPA 1: Fire Code help
protect jurisdictions with more powerful and comprehensive fire
protection requirements for fire alarm, sprinkler, and life-safety
issues. Adopted in jurisdictions throughout North America, this
integrated approach to fire code regulation and hazard management
contains extracts from and references to more than 130 NFPA codes and
standards to address the full range of fire protection and life safety
issues.
Major changes reflect important safety code updates. New requirements in this edition mandate:

* CO detection in new residential occupancies reflecting the NFPA 101: Life Safety Code
* Floor fire protection for new non-sprinklered one- and two-family dwellings
* Two-way radio communication enhancement systems may be required by the AHJ per NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.
* And other changes that benefit building occupant safety
