Silent Knight by Honeywell(NYSE: HON) announces itsFarenhyt IFP-50fire alarm control panel is now part of theWest Islip Fire Department'sregular training regimen. With the support of local fire and security integrator, Checkmate Security, Babylon, N.Y., the fire department’s training facility has a new, fully-functioning fire alarm system.
The West Islip training facility comprises a variety of rooms and objects to help fire fighters simulate a realistic rescue within a residential or commercial building. Recordings of people’s voices, crying babies and the loud crackle of fire, coupled with heavy, smoke-like steam and removable floor planks to simulate burned-through holes help new and seasoned fire fighters train for nearly any imaginable situation. However, the ability to interact with a commercial fire alarm system was not an option until Checkmate’s President, Bill Havdoglous, offered a solution.
"We've put in a lot of Silent Knight systems all over the county, so it just made sense to ensure our fire department knows basic operations and how to get useful information from the panel," says Havdoglous.
