Pioneering Technology's Patented Safe-T-element Cooking
System
Is the Only Technology Available Today that Controls High End
Heat on Electric Coil Ranges
CALGARY,
Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -
Pioneering Technology Corp. (TSX-V: PTE; OTC BB: PTEFF),
("Pioneering"), an energy smart product innovation and consumer
goods company, announced today that the Canadian Association of
Fire Chiefs ("CAFC"), a division of the International Association
of Fire Chiefs ("IAFC"), passed a Resolution in support of tested
affordable technology for electric coil ranges to drastically
reduce the number of stovetop cooking fires and burned food
incidents by reducing the high-end temperature at which burners
operate.
Pioneering's patented Safe-T-element cooking system
is the only technology available today that provides high end heat
limiting capabilities for electric coiled ranges.
Chief Robert
Simonds, President of the CAFC said of the resolution, "I am
very pleased to work with our membership across the country in an
effort to bring an end to these needless fires that put both our
citizens at risk and our firefighters in harm's way."
The resolution further supports a modification of
provincial, territorial and federal agency regulations to allow for
new safety technology to be utilized and will promote it by
whatever means necessary in an effort to reduce or eliminate
stovetop cooking fires.
Pioneering was invited to make a presentation to
the Canadian Council of Fire Marshals & Fire Commissioners and
the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs at their annual board of
directors meeting in Calgary
Alberta on September 25,
2011. Pioneering's patented Safe-T-element cooking
technology has a track record of success helping to prevent stove
top cooking fires while also saving energy. Available on new
ranges or as a retrofit, this technology is now installed on over
50,000 ranges in multi-residential housing throughout North America helping to eliminate the number
one cause of household fire.
The CAFC is represented by all ten Canadian
provinces and three territories. The Resolution was submitted
by the CAFC Fire and Life Safety Committee and put to a vote of the
membership at their annual meeting. The Resolution passed
unanimously and now becomes a part of the Association's
Statement of Policy book and an official component of the
government relations agenda that is presented both to federal
Members of Parliament and public servants in Ottawa.
The specifics of the CAFC resolution are as
follows:
WHEREAS:
Cooking equipment is one of the leading causes of residential fires
and home fire injuries in Canada.
AND WHEREAS:
Unattended cooking is the leading factor contributing to cooking
fires.
AND WHEREAS:
Kitchen fires due to cooking oil or grease igniting into flames
cause the fastest-spreading and most destructive type of
residential fires.
AND WHEREAS:
Unattended cooking and combustibles too close to the cooking
surface, such as towels, paper products, etc. are major
contributing factors to these fires.
AND WHEREAS:
Electric ranges are the leading type of cooking equipment involved
in these fires.
AND WHEREAS:
Cooking fires are one of the leading causes of home fire
injuries.
AND WHEREAS:
Education and code enforcement alone have not yielded the desired
results when it comes to eliminating cooking fires.
AND WHEREAS:
Tested affordable technology for electric coil ranges now exists to
drastically reduce the number of these fires and burned food
incidents by reducing the high-end temperature at which burners
operate with no applicable difference in cooking times or
quality.
AND WHEREAS:
High-end heat regulation technology currently available can reduce
the amount of energy used by the range by as much as 50 per
cent.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
That CAFC support this cooking "fire prevention" technology and
further support a modification of provincial, territorial and
federal agency regulations to allow for new fire safety technology
to be utilized and will promote it by whatever means necessary in
an effort to reduce or eliminate stovetop cooking fires.
