I am looking for some help and/or education on securing grant money for a new product that is on the market. It's new but we all use application of this product within our day to day operation. A fire department submitted a proposal for the machine and was declined received the letter yesterday. I think part of the reason was due to not understanding the capabilities and relizing that the machine does everthing but rolled into one ultimate fire fighting partner. Please Help!

This "new product" would not happen to be the same product that your user name pulls up when you put in www form, does it:confused:
Kinda sneaky..:rolleyes:

Nice catch...not sneaky.....totally lame, much like the product.
I watched the video and it was an incredible waste of time and resources to set up and deploy the tracked thing-vs- just putting the fire out.
The crew set up the gizmo and then had to finish putting the fire out, all while not wearing any type of breathing apparatus.
Not sure what one of these so called wiz bang things costs, but I for one think there are better uses for federal dollars; like getting everyone turnouts, scba's, and Vehicle exhaust systems so we can enjoy life after we leave the fire service and not fall victim to any one of the health issues that we are all aware of.

I agree. If anybody actually got this as part of an AFG project, then let the congressional hearings begin! I am not saying anything against the product, only saying that many of us need the bare bones essentials still.

Chuckle...
Yep, I can see that changing everything. Send me one and I will do a test and publish all that I find.
Anyways - This was just the computer scoring page - your product did not even make it to people to review. Shame really, they could have used the laugh!

I agree you need all of the esstentials first and you should have them. The product has been in the US for 9 months and we have 4 in operation. This may not fill any of your needs but this does have a place within the fire industry. Use the military way of thinking Send the tank before the infantry.
Do you use PPV and PPA?

Thank you for your important comments and 4 departments already own the machine and believe it will help protect and change how they conduct business in tunnels, warehouses, churchs, high rise buildings, parking garages, and guess what they used them and it has made a difference.
Do you use PPV, PPA, Foam, Water?

We use PPA? Why do you ask? Your product is not used for PPA, correct?
I heard Harwood FC in PA. is getting one of yours, is that true?
