International Barrier Recognizes National Fire Prevention Week
Fire Resistant Building Materials Company Emphasizes the Importance of Fire Prevention & Safety
Watkins, MN; Vancouver, BC October 6, 2003 - International Barrier Technology Inc. (?Barrier?) (IBTGF: OTCBB; IBH: TSXV) encourages individuals and organizations alike to consider the simple but important lessons promoted by this year?s National Fire Prevention Week campaign ("When Fire Strikes: Get Out! Stay Out!"). National Fire Prevention Week takes place October 5 ? 11, 2003. The official sponsor, the National Fire Protection Association, offers valuable information regarding fire prevention and safety at: http://www.nfpa.org/FPW/index.asp.
?Improvements in fire prevention and safety have reduced deaths and injuries from fire in the last decades. But the U.S. still has one of the highest fire death rates in the industrialized world, and the value of property loss has grown significantly,? said Mike Huddy, International Barrier?s president. ?There are opportunities to employ increasingly better fire resistant building design and products as well as improve understanding of fire safety practices. I am proud of International Barrier?s success in advancing the performance of fire resistant building materials to new levels, with the aim of creating safer living and working environments. And I encourage everyone to educate themselves on fire safety practices such as those being highlighted during National Fire Prevention Week."
