In this episode we are playing with fire, literally. My guests today are Michael Friedman and John Tabaczk with Fire Technology Innovations. As welders we often overlook fire safety when welding and become rather complacent when it comes to our fire extinguishers and their proper use, inspection, and the amount of faith we have in that big red can. Fire Technology Innovations has put technology into a 70 year old piece of equipment to make it safer and more reliable for the users in an effort to help keep everyone safe.

Today’s episode, at least in my opinion, is freaking awesome. Today’s guest is Bill Komlos, Bill is an English major, turned welder, turned welding engineer and now develops some of the crazies welding procedures, for some of the coolest projects out there. Bill has an amazing story, he’s worked on all kinds of military projects, C B and I, Aerospace and most recently created a welding procedure to weld a man-made metal that had been installed on the Mars rover Perseverance that will be landing on Mars, this Thursday to collect all kinds of data about the planet. It’s been traveling to mars for the past 6 months and a half months and has traveled over 300 million miles along its journey. Bill is just a fountain of knowledge and I am sure you are going to enjoy his story.
