Pioneering Technology's Patented
Safe-T-element Cooking System is the Only Technology Available
Today that Controls High End Heat on Electric Coil
Ranges
WILSON, NC and MISSISSAUGA, ON, July
18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Pioneering Technology Corp. (TSX-V:
PTE) (OTCBB: PTEFF), ("Pioneering"), an energy smart product
innovation and consumer goods company, announced today that the
City of Wilson North Carolina is
the first City in North America to
pass an ordinance (legislation) requiring that all electric ranges
in tax-supported housing must now include "high end heat limiting
technology" meaning that all new or replacement electric coil
ranges must be equipped with this technology and all existing
ranges must either be replaced or retrofitted with "heat limiting
technology" within the next 5 years.
Mayor C. Bruce Rose, of
Wilson County, North Carolina
signed this city ordinance requiring "high end heat limiting
technology" on all electric coil cooking devices in tax supported
housing.
U.S. Congressman G.K Butterfield of North Carolina's 1st District recently wrote
in support of this initiative, "New cooking technology that has
proven to reduce stovetop fires, the number one cause of household
fire in our State and in our nation will have long reaching
benefits for the health of our citizens, our rank and file
firefighters, the environment and importantly our economy as a
whole. I would like to see agencies such as the Department of
Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Energy
recognize and amend their regulations to allow for this technology
to be installed in public housing where our citizens are most
vulnerable."
Randy Godwin, Deputy Chief of
Wilson Fire/Rescue Services and
President of the North Carolina Association of Fire Chiefs said,
"We partnered with the local Housing Authority to make this a
reality. While cooking fires continue to plague our nation
accounting for 40% of all home fires, that number is 53% in
Wilson. The adoption of this
technology has been embraced in an effort to eliminate such
fires".
Pioneering's patented Safe-T-element cooking system is the only
technology available today that provides "high end heat control"
and a track record of success helping to prevent stove top cooking
fires while also saving energy. Available on new ranges or as a
retrofit, this technology is installed on over 50,000 ranges in
multi-residential public housing. There has never been a cooking
fire on a Safe-T-element equipped range.
Pioneering CEO Kevin Callahan
said of the ordinance, "Why wouldn't North Carolina be first. The Wright brothers
were first in flight in Kitty Hawk
in the early 1900's - around the same time the electric coil stove
top was invented. Much has changed in aviation since then, while
very little has changed in electric coil stovetop cooking
technology. We are happy that we can help the City of Wilson deliver on their objective of
helping reduce the majority of the fire runs in their community and
like years ago provide an example for the country and the rest of
the world."
