Fluorescent Pebbles Edit
The Life Pebble Innovation for Firefighters

At the recently held Seoul Design Competition, the safety of brave firefighters served as the inspiration for the grand prize winners Kim Woo-sik and Jun Yoo-ho from Konkuk University in Korea. The two entered the competition with their concept of Life Pebble, a device which can assist firefighters in working their way out of a building on fire.

Life Pebble is an apparatus that is strapped on a firefighter’s back before entering a burning structure. It releases fluorescent pebbles, which illuminate to help firefighters find their way out of a building in heavy smoke.
