CMC Government Supply Has New Generation of Road Flares for Public Safety Departments

DALLAS, TX July 31, 2012 – CMC Government Supply is proud to be offering the newest alternative to road flares by Cyalume Technologies. These road flares do not burn and are environmentally friendly, non-combustible and last much longer than traditional flares.

The Cyalume SnapLight Flare comes in a variety of colors and in lengths of 8 or 10 inches. These flares were developed as a safe, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flares that are currently used by law enforcement, safety workers, and consumers.

Government agencies are moving away from incendiary flares because of pollution, fire danger, and liability. Traditional flares burn at extremely high temperatures causing severe burns, ruined uniforms/clothing, and equipment. They contain large amounts of hazardous materials such as sulfur and perchlorates. These hazards create risk for the user, innocent bystanders, and the environment. They are difficult to extinguish and the fumes are offensive and toxic.

The SnapLight Flares are designed to be practical with an “easy to use”, “easy to maintain”, and “easy to operate” approach. The Cyalume SnapLight Flares have proved useful for public safety workers as the Next Generation Flare.

The 10” Yellow and the 10” Red Cyalume SnapLight Flares are rated for 2 hour use and come in a box of 10 for $29.99. The 8” Ultra High-Intensity Flare with wire stand is a super bright instant light solution which lasts 30 minutes. While supplies last, CMC Government Supply is offering the 8” Orange Ultra High Intensity Flare in a box of 12 sticks for $27.99. They normally sell for $39.99.
