Firefighter Invention Cuts Out Car Radios
This is a really cool idea (from Serious About News via FireFightingNews.com).
James Hutchison, of Calewen, Two Mile Ash, invented WarnTone to reduce attendance times for emergency services.The device cuts out car radios and CDs at a set distance of 200 metres, giving the message 'Warning, emergency vehicle approaching.'
It allows drivers to pull over in time to allow emergency vehicles to pass.
Firefighter Hutchison, a UK firefighter, spent years inventing the WarnTone. He is having some trouble getting it licensed in the UK. I hope all goes well with the device and that it catches on.
