Fire Service Industry News: Froggy's Fog Supports Robert Garner Firefighter Foundation with Training Smoke Donation

Froggy's Fog supported the Robert Garner Firefighter Foundation in April by donating one drum of their Extreme Density training smoke fluid. The foundation has benefited from this donation by using the smoke at their quarterly training events, Beyond Basics Training, which provide advanced lifesaving training to firefighters that they can bring back to their stations.

The Extreme Density formula of training smoke fluid enables the foundation to simulate white out conditions when a live fire would be impractical.

Director of Giving, Elizabeth Seymour says, "I can't tell you how much we have appreciated the donation from Froggy's Fog. We are truly grateful for the support that we receive from the fire service community and those committed to the safety and training of our first responders, like Froggy's Fog."

Froggy's Fog is a premier fog fluid manufacturer based in Columbia, Tennessee. Our fog, haze, snow and bubble fluids are made in the United States from lab-grade, UV-Filtered, de-ionized water and the highest quality chemicals. (more)

The Robert Garner Firefighter Foundation is a Houston, Texas based educational firefighter foundation that supports, inspires and educates future and current firefighters.
