Pioneering Technology Partners with Celebrity Chef David Rocco to Raise Awareness of Kitchen Fire Dangers & Prevention
Mississauga, Ontario (PRWEB) November 08, 2013 -- The aim of the partnership is to better educate the public about the major dangers associated with stovetop cooking fires - the number one cause of house fires in North America – and demonstrate what can be done to prevent them from occurring. Current figures show that 44% of all reported household fires start in the kitchen, with only 1 in 30 fires reported.
David Rocco commented, “Preparing and eating great meals can be the basis of some of the most memorable experiences we have with family and friends. Of course, we all know how busy life can be and how easy it is to become distracted or forget things, but when that happens while cooking tragedy can result. That’s why I am so excited about partnering with Pioneering Technology. They are leaders in the field of kitchen fire safety and their technology innovations keep people safe, preventing the potential for cooking fires ever starting. With over 100,000 of their products installed and not one subsequent kitchen fire – I believe their products can make a real difference AND they’re a homegrown Canadian company.”
Kevin Callahan, CEO of Pioneering commented, “In his work, David embodies all that is great about the spirit of family and home and shared cooking experiences. Our company ethos - and the motivation to create the technologies we have – is to keep those experiences safe for all. Having David partner with us to better educate people of the dangers of kitchen fires and show what can be done to prevent them, is something we’re extremely excited about.”
David will be involved in further Pioneering Technology product launches in the coming months. Details will be available at http://pioneeringtech.com/fire-prevention/.
