This idea is to market smoke machines as fire drill simulation kits and have all the schools in the world buy them.

This has me thinking about something I have been meaning to post, but am not sure in what capacity: Who here has gotten to use a fire extinguisher? It probably is pretty simple in the heat of a surreal moment but some practice would be nice. |

If the idea is to merely simulate a dangerous situation then you don't want real smoke as that is one aspect of the dangerous situation. Get a smoke machine and some red and orange pulsing lights (to simulate fire), do some drills and then do something funky on the dance floor. |

This does seem to be a great idea, but with young children you stand the risk of causing the same panic that your trying to prevent. |

I was thinking about a fire drill, and then I watched Backdraft, and I realized how dumbed down fire drills are. Admidst heavy smoke, its probably hard to orient yourself and such, and these machines would help train you to do so. |

Baked. I'm in the US Navy, we use these for shipboard fire drills. Looks like a suitcase, works like a fog machine. Produces harmless white "smoke" from ethylene glycol just like theatrical fog/smoke machines. |
