Teen invents tools for ff safety/fire prevention

3 posts in this topic

Currently a volunteer firefighter in Port Washington, New York, Paul starts Clarkson University this fall on a full, four-year scholarship. He earned that honor as a winner of Clarkson's "Young Entrepreneurs and Innovators" competition.

Paul came up with two life-saving inventions that he will develop when he gets to school this fall. The first is called the "Dryer Fire Prevention System." It shuts off the dryer before it catches on fire by detecting lint inside of vents and lint traps. The other is called the "Fighter SCBA" (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus), which is a miniature infrared camera that fits inside the masks of firefighters and helps them see clearly in smoke-filled areas.

Congrats to this young man. I hope to see these inventions put to use in the near future.

Very Cool. Perhaps he will help out Potsdam Fire as a mutual aid member. Having done so myself, I can say that it was a life changing experience full of amazing people.
