Flame Out Heats Up in San Diego -Revolutionary Fire Extinguisher Featured on Several Leading Southern California Television Stations- LONGVIEW, Texas, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Summit Environmental Corporation (OTC:SEVT) (BULLETIN BOARD: SEVT) successfully launched its revolutionary, non-toxic fire extinguisher, Flame Out(R) at 311 Big 5 Sporting Goods (NASDAQ:BGFVE) stores throughout the west over the July 4th holiday weekend. In Southern California, the launch was supported with a public relations program that featured the product on three leading San Diego television stations: KSND-TV (NBC), XETV-TV (FOX) and KUSI-TV as well as top Los Angeles station: KABC-TV (ABC). Flame Out is unlike ordinary fire extinguishing products because of its unique chemical properties that are proven effective to stop spot fires and, more importantly, prevents them from spreading or re-igniting. The properties of Flame Out completely suppress a fire by removing oxygen, which smothers the fire, removes the heat to cool the fire and encapsulates the fire to inhibit re-ignition. In each of the four televised segments, Summit Environmental Corporation Chairman and CEO Keith Parker explained and demonstrated the use and effectiveness of Flame Out. Joining Parker on the television segments was Yellowstone Club Fire Chief Steve Hauck, who protects some of the nation's most expensive homes, who talked about fire safety tips for consumers. The San Diego segments ran between three and four minutes during coveted local morning news programs and the Los Angeles segment ran during the widely viewed 5 p.m. evening newscast. "The television coverage we received is a critical component of our retail expansion strategy. It helps support our retailers by generating traffic to their stores and promoting sales," said Parker. "It gave us a great opportunity to show people how valuable Flame Out can be in an emergency situation, as it puts out fires more quickly and effectively than water."
