Throughout the ages the word Titan has always been accompanied by the idea of a warrior. In Greek mythology, these colossal beings ravished skies, protected colonies and are credited as creators to the universe we live in. They were thought to bring order to chaos by ensuring the livelihood of the human race.
Peter George, Managing Director of Janus Products Corp. has recently joined in on an exciting new venture that has potential to change the idea of fire safety within our homes altogether. A recent study conducted by the U.S Fire Administration has devastating accounts of surprising statistics that would make anyone wonder ‘why fire safety isn’t taken more seriously?’
Approximately 3,245 civilians died last year from fire related injuries. Over 11,000 were severely wounded resulting in perpetual outcomes detrimental to their overall health, including mind and body. 106 firefighters died in the act of duty. In fact more Americans die from painfully, terrifying burns and other fire related harm than that of natural disasters on a yearly account.
Most homes are equipped with fire extinguishers. Peter George presents a question, “Why are we using a device that instructs us to stay at the scene of the accident?” He continues, “We should be fleeing from the home and Titan21™ is a fire blanket like no other.”
The Titan21™ Fire Blanket is made from 100% cotton fabrics and treated with a unique solution identified as Hartindo AF21 Fire Inhibitor. Hartindo AF21 is an organic, non-toxic, bio-degradable, water-based application that is resistant to bacterial and fungal contamination in conjunction. Most importantly it is flame resistant. The environmentally friendly product has surpassed the industries highest tests, certifications, and standards.
Ideally, the Titan21™ can be used in any type of structure. Whether you own a residential home, commercial buildings, industrial structure or clinical offices and labs; this protective blanket will save lives and other, otherwise agonizing injuries from happening. Family members, employees, associates and patients will have access to a tool that can potentially save lives, in case of a deadly fire.
The blanket can aid paramedics and firefighters in a ‘first response’ situation. The Titan21™ Fire Blanket will not burn or be penetrated by fire. It acts as a wall of protection, literally shielding and guarding your body from flames by blocking them out. It can also be used to extinguish the fire source altogether.
Imagine your children tucked into their beds safely, peacefully dreaming the night away. You, yourself have just managed to fall asleep. Abruptly, the smell of smoke fills your head, the alarm shrieks, ringing in your ears. Your first thought is ‘the children’. They frantically make it to your bedroom and your thoughts are swirling in your head about escape plans, exits, extinguishers and you quickly run out the doorway, down the hallway, down the stairs and out the front exit. By then it may be too late. About 35% of people, who die in a house fire, die because they are trapped. Imagine having the piece of mind that a Titan21™ Fire Blanket has close by and could have sheltered your loved ones from the flames and smoke while exiting the structure safe and sound.
Where a fire risk exists, a blanket should be in close proximity. Industrial settings, kitchens, garages, fireplaces, vehicles, home workshops and restaurants are only a few places where a fire has potential to arise and we have a responsibility to be prepared. According to the Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation between 8,000 and 12,000 of patients with burns die; one million will sustain substantial or permanent disabilities resulting from the burn injury.
Apartment buildings can sometimes prove to be difficult when escaping from a fire. Stairs, civilians and a poorly structured building can cause reason for unnerving thoughts. The amazing thing is “the blanket cannot catch fire. You are protected to ensure safety from any abrupt flames.” describes Peter George. Tenants living in basement apartments are at greater risk, for the amount of exits decrease considerably. Last December, a demonstration of the powerful solution the blanket is treated with, created quite a notable buzz. A common piece of paper towel, treated with AF21 Fire Inhibitor, could not catch fire. A match, a blow torch –nothing could make a flame appear on this very flammable surface. It was quite the sight. Peter explains, “Seconds count and this blanket acts as a wall of protection obstructing any raging fire.”
Much like the mythical Greek beings the Titans, Titan21™ Fire Blanket protects you when your world has been threatened. Many of us may live our lives without ever encountering the deadly force of a blazing fire, but from now on at least we may have a piece of mind in case it does come our way. Why suffer from the consequences of a terrible circumstance, if it can be avoided?
