Press ReleaseBig 5 Sporting Goods Will Roll Out New Fire Safety Device for Consumers in Its 311 Stores July 4th WeekendEnvironmentally Safe 'FlameOut' Stops Spot Fires, Leading Cause of Tragic Death and Property LossLONGVIEW, Texas, June 23, 2005 -- With summer outdoor activities such as grilling and campfires, some of the nation's leading causes of spot fires, Big 5 Sporting Goods will be the first leading retailer to offer Summit Environmental Corporation's (OTC Bulletin Board: SEVT) new non-toxic, environmentally safe, FlameOut(R) aerosol can fire extinguisher over the July 4th weekend in its 311 stores in the western United States. They will be the first major retailer to carry Summit's revolutionary aerosol can fire extinguishers.FlameOut(R) (also the chemical contents' name) 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 reigniting. The properties of FlameOut(R) completely suppress a fire by removing oxygen, which smothers the fire, removes the heat to cool the fire and encapsulates the fire to inhibit reignition. The product is also the only aerosol can fire extinguisher validated and listed in accordance to the requirements for portable fire extinguishers (NFPA 10) by Applied Research Laboratories. FlameOut(R), the chemical concentrate encased in the can, is non-toxic and is one of only seven replacements for the ozone-depleting, globally banned fire-fighting agent Halon certified by the U.S. EPA SNAP Program. FlameOut(R) is the only environmentally friendly product listed by the United States Forestry Service used in forest fires on its 5100-307 List. FlameOut(R) was designed to put out spot fires, those relatively small fires caused by campfires, cooking, and overheated outdoor equipment, or other household fires that start small and, if treated quickly, will not spread and cause injury and damage. "The success of the FlameOut(R) aerosol can fire extinguisher is that it is proven effective, easy to use and is affordably safe at about $19.95 a can," said Summit Chairman and CEO Keith Parker. "We are pleased to team up with Big 5 to offer this product to their customers at this very important time of year so families can be better prepared to combat spot fires in their kitchens, workshops and other places within the home, as well as RVs, trailers and boats." Another key benefit of FlameOut(R) is that unlike water or powdered extinguishers, its ingredients will not cause residual damage. FlameOut(R) is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, just needing to be wiped up with a paper towel. Big 5 Sporting Goods, headquartered in El Segundo, CA operates 311 stores in 10 states, providing a full line of products offered at compelling values, including athletic shoes, apparel and accessories, as well as a broad selection of athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, tennis, golf, snowboarding and in-line skating. Summit Environmental Corporation, Inc, based in Longview, TX markets and distributes biodegradable, non-toxic chemical products and fire suppression agents of which the patent and intellectual property rights are held by Summit. The company is committed to creating products to aid in reducing environmental poisoning mainly in the areas of fire-fighting and soil and water remediation due to the use of toxic agents causing chemical pollution originating from previous lack of viable alternatives.
