Pioneering's Safe-T-element(R) Helps Eliminate Stovetop Cooking Fires on U.S.
Naval Base in Sasebo Japan

A First in Fire Prevention - the Number One Cause of Household Fire is
Eliminated

DALLAS, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Pioneering Technology Corp. of
Mississauga, Ontario (TSX-V: PTE), ("Pioneering") presented a first in fire
prevention at the U.S. Department of Defense's Fire and Emergency Services
Training Conference in Dal as yesterday. During the presentation Pioneering
presented a case study featuring U.S. Naval Base, Sasebo Japan. The study
confirmed that the Safe-T-element cooking technology in tandem with the Base's
fire prevention and safety initiatives successfully eliminated 100% of the
stovetop cooking fires at its Naval Station based on a pre-and-post analysis
of 600 housing units over the past 18 months.
Commander U.S. Naval Forces Fleet Activity Sasebo, Japan, Gerald Clarke, said
of the results, "This product does everything it is supposed to do - help
eliminate cooking fires."
For the first time ever the number one cause of household fire, stove top
cooking, a problem that has remained consistent since the fire prevention
community began collecting data has been eliminated in a statistically
relevant sample study under the watchful eye of the United States Naval Fire
Prevention Services.
According to the National Fire Protection Association household fires result
in direct losses of close to $1 billion annually. The U.S. Home Safety Council
estimates that the average annual medical cost of residential fires in the US
is $7 billion. Stove top cooking is the Number One cause of residential fire
in North America and on U.S. military bases globally. To date the only means
of prevention has been education.
Fire Chief Wayne Senter, President of the Washington Fire Chiefs Association,
said, "Our national stovetop fire incidence rate has stabilized at about 40%
of all residential fires over the last few years. This is mainly due to strong
fire prevention education efforts from local fire departments. However,
Safe-T-element provides an engineering solution that eliminates stovetop
cooking fires, that's zero fire loss, zero injuries and zero deaths."
Naval Station Sasebo has approximately 600 family housing units on its base
all of which are equipped with electric stoves. In the spring of 2007 Sasebo
purchased its first Safe-T-element unit as a trial to test its performance.
Based on the success of that trial Sasebo purchased Safe-T-elements to equip
545 ranges in June 2007 and began implementing them in housing units being
renovated or as new personnel moved in to ensure a seamless transition. By the
beginning of 2008, 95% of Sasebo's housing units were equipped with the
Safe-T-element technology. Since then the Sasebo Naval Station has experienced
"ZERO" cooking fires, for the first time ever.
Sasebo Fire Prevention Chief Moses Gibbs III said, "I believe in this product
and our installation program has been a complete success."
As a result of this success, the Safe-T-element technology is now mandated on
all stoves on the Sasebo base for residential housing. All scope of work,
engineering and technical drawings include the technology as a design and
purchasing requirement.
Pioneering Technology was recently invited by the Deputy Director of U.S. Navy
Fire Emergency Services in Washington, DC to present the technology and the
results of this Case Study to the Navy's Fire Prevention Working Group in
Crystal City Virginia. Based on the success of this presentation Pioneering
was invited to present yesterday at the Department of Defense's Fire and
Emergency Services Training Conference in Dallas.
Pioneering CEO Kevin Callahan said, "This technology has been a long time
coming, taking time to gather definitive statistical evidence like this.
Results like these are what are driving fire prevention and safety officials
to encourage legislators, regulators and stove manufacturers, to recognize the
potential of this technology for saving lives, properties, energy and tax
dollars."
Safe-T-element was also recently recognized by the US Air Force as an
alternative means of compliance with their UFC 3-600-01 military code
requirement for a range fire safety system, meaning that a range that includes
the Safe-T-element technology is considered a "fire safe" range and is one of
only two technologies that must be included in all commercial stove
applications.
