02. Trials Complete 03.24.09 Testing in Hothead Technologies Heat Room Exceeds Expectations In the spring of this year, 343 Technologies participated in a trial that helped Hothead Technologies better understand how their H.O.T. System would monitor firefighters under heated conditions while in full gear. Michael Bentley and one of his fellow firefighters reviewed the software program that tells them when a firefighter is overheating and in the danger zone of possible heat stroke. The trials were conducted in a custom-designed heat room at the Hothead Technologies facility. Temperatures were run well above 100 degrees while the test subject walked on a treadmill. "We were really impressed with how accurate the temperature readings were," said President and Founder of 343 Technologies, Michael Bentley. "This is exactly what we as firefighters need on our side to give us another set of eyes when we're saturated by heat and smoke in extremely hot fire fighting conditions." The 343 Technologies team has continued it's pursuit of making the H.O.T. System a valuable tool for fire fighters by conducting test at the Georgia Fire Academy with overwhelming and positive response by other fire fighting leadership.
