OHP Switch to Cold Fire


The Oklahoma Highway Patrol continues to outfit its new cruisers with Cold Fire 1.5 gallon extingiushers. The brackets are mounted in different ways depending on the make of the car. It's widely accepted that the dry-chem extinguishers currently used in 99% of police cars are pretty worthless when it comes to putting out a vehicle fire, but Cold Fire can knock it out in seconds, saving lives and property.

RDR Technologies now carrying Fire Retardant Clothing from Bulwark


In case you hadn't heard, OSHA has changed up the rules on the oil and gas industry regarding fire retardant clothing. The standard 70E-rated clothing isn't good enough anymore. The new standard is NFPA 2112 for flash fire, and spot inspections have already started cracking down, according to a memo from the head of OSHA at a recent Dallas meeting.

RDR has selected only those coveralls, pants and shirts that not only meet the new 2112 requirement, but are also UL rated. You can take a look at our FR website rdrtechnologies.soonerdesign.com. The shopping cart isn't quite functional yet, but the prices, sizes and colors are all listed. Just call in your order to 405-702-0055 ext. 2.
