 Sporting
Ammunition and the Firefighter
Item #250 (Video); Item #251 (DVD)
Nearly one million rounds of ammunition were subjected
to ten different tests-from open burn conditions to
tightly confined burn conditions-to examine what happens
to sporting ammunition exposed to severe impact and
fire. This video is recommended as an educational tool
for fire departments and explains how firefighters
face no danger from sporting ammunition in a fire when
protected by standard turn-out gear.
Smokeless Powder and the Fire
Service
Item #252 (Video); Item #253 (DVD)
This video emphasizes in the storage and display of
smokeless powder in the retail environment and demonstrates
that if appropriately packaged, smokeless powder will
not explode and is less dangerous during fires than
many other common retail materials. It addresses what
the fire hazards are to firefighters or to supplies
displayed in a retail store, and what quantity limits
should municipal fire prevention ordinances place on
the storage and display of smokeless powder in retail
stores.
