Centereach, NY – April 21, 2015 – Briscoe Protective Systems Inc.—a leader in world-class fire, security, video and access control products— today announced it is supporting volunteer fire departments on Long Island by lending its fire training board free of charge.
The new fire training board is designed to lend a helping hand to those fire districts that need assistance with fire alarm system equipment to help train volunteers. Briscoe designed a “training board” that includes a fire alarm panel and standard on-the-job safety devices, which the company is lending to fire departments to help train volunteers on the basic operation of the required fire alarm system safety equipment.
As a public service, Briscoe Protective Systems feels the training board can save money for volunteer fire departments throughout the NY area by not having to pay a fee to rent training equipment. “We have just launched this new training board on Long Island and feel strongly about expanding our reach throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties to help our volunteer fire districts save money and keep operating effectively,” states Bob Williams, CEO at Briscoe. Briscoe also offers the opportunity for local fire departments to request that a Briscoe staff member assist with the training when applicable. “We provide a Briscoe staff member to stay on hand to assist with the training; alternatively, we can coach local fire district representatives on how to conduct their own internal training with our board.” says Williams. Fire districts can also reduce training costs by using Briscoe as an educational resource to answer other fire alarm-related questions as needed.
A founding sponsor of Long Island’s Just One Life, a unique smoke and carbon monoxide detector distribution and installation program, Briscoe has maintained a demonstrably community-focused philosophy.
Briscoe continues to lead the industry in community support, dedicating resources locally to support fire districts and create safer communities. For further information on Briscoe’s Fire Training Board, please contact Denise Rueda at [email protected]
