THMG507 – DOT Class 2 | Part II
vendredi 1 août 2025 • Duration 29:13
We jumped back in with DOT Class 2 hazmat and covered a ton of ground—so much, in fact, that we couldn’t fit it all into one episode. We also explore when non-flammable is flammable.

THMG495a – Friends of Firefighters
jeudi 1 mai 2025 • Duration 19:32
We don’t usually make requests like this, but we have a close friend who’s been making a real difference for a long time. We’ve supported her and her mission from the start, and we personally know people who’ve been helped when things got tough.
If you’re able, we’d love for you to lend a hand to someone who could use the support, and share this info with others who might be able to help too.

ObexionFR
ObexionFR is a mobile solution for first responders dealing with lithium battery fires, created by former FDNY Hazmat experts. It uses advanced science to neutralize fires by addressing heat, oxygen, and fuel, quickly containing and extinguishing them while keeping toxic gas levels safe. The process cools the battery, isolates oxygen, and prevents further ignition, providing a reliable tool for challenging battery fire incidents. Check it out.
