LYNDHURST FIRE
DEPARTMENT UNVEILS NEW TECHNOLOGY DURING FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Local Audio-Visual
Company Designs the Projection System and Donates Screen
LYNDHURST, NJ October 8, 2015
National Fire Prevention Week is October 4 – 10, 2015 and the Lyndhurst, NJ
Fire Department has hosted more than 2,000 schoolchildren this week to teach
them about fire safety and to introduce them to some of Lyndhurst’s bravest.
In order to prepare for this
week, the fire department requested the assistance of local Audio-Visual
company ProjectorScreen.com to design their projector system. Brian Gluck, the
owner of ProjectorScreen.com, and his team set up the Lyndhurst Fire Department
with a high definition projector. They then donated a large projector screen
and accessories, enabling the department to present to over 200 people at a
time. Prior to this set-up, the Fire Department used a 40” television that
could barely be seen by a small youth class.
The 2015 theme of National Fire
Prevention Week is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a
Working Smoke Alarm!” The Fire Department brought numerous classes of local
school children from Pre-K through 3rd grade to the firehouse. The
kids were shown a presentation about fire safety and the importance of working
smoke detectors in every bedroom on the projector screen. They were then
brought to the smoke-house, where they got to experience a fire simulator that
the department uses for training and some students even got to see their
teachers be lifted up in the firetrucks more than 100” off the ground.
“The new technology provided to
us by Brian Gluck has enabled us be much more efficient in a more professional
manner,” said Paul Haggerty, Chief of the Lyndhurst Fire Department. “This
projection system allows us to utilize our facilities as a training center for
all South Bergen Fire Departments so that we don’t have to travel all the way
to Mahwah to the Bergen Fire Academy.”
“Having started our company in
Lyndhurst, we wanted to give back to the community and the people that protect
the community,” stated Brian Gluck. “We are proud to have helped the Lyndhurst
FD through our “Save our Screen” initiative, where we donate our products and
services to those whose job it is to “save us”. We encourage any other fire
departments in need to reach out to us as well!”
The Lyndhurst Fire Department is
100% volunteer and has been proudly serving the community for more than 125
years. Anyone interested in donating to Lyndhurst’s bravest can do so from the
