Donations from Froggy's Fog Support Firefighter Training at FRI

Froggy's Fog is donating the use of two SG-1300 machines along with Extreme Density training fluid for the Fire Rescue International conference being held Aug. 17 - 20, 2016 in San Antonio, Texas to simulate a warehouse fire during the conference's High Impact Training segment.

Capt. Rex Strickland of Fairfax County, Va. Fire and Rescue, who is leading the High Impact Training says, "The smoke machines will be used outside of the loading dock where we are simulating an entrance to a large warehouse fire. We will have an engine staged there with a handline nozzle going through the door where the smoke is originating and a battalion chief truck will be positioned to simulate a command post. The smoke is being used to make the simulation as contextual as possible."

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. For more information about Froggy's Fog, visit www.froggysfog.com.

Pine Grove (LA) Receives New Fire Apparatus

The District 2 Volunteer Fire Department in Pine Grove, Louisiana purchased a new fire truck. It was delivered in the beginning of June. This would not have been possible without the support of the community. This will help maintain the low fire rating.
