Hamden Live Burn & Last Chance Filter Test

09/27/07- Hamden, CT - Firefighters from all over the country converged on Hamden, CT to test the newly patented Last Chance Filter. The Last Chance Rescue Filter is a device designed to give firefighters a last chance effort to escape a smoke filled environment when their air supply runs outs. A burn exercise took place in the old Dadio homestead at 466 Putnam Ave. after the town acquired the property. The physical effects on firefighters of battling a blaze were measured. Also measured on that day was carbon monoxide, oxygen and hydrogen cyanide levels in firefighters before and after they wore the filter..
Eric George, a firefighter in New Haven. Connecticut, invented a lifesaving concept for firefighters trapped in an out of air emergency.
