Sacramento Fire Department Backs 21st Century's ProMag Magnetic Leak Sealing System for HAZMAT Applications.

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2003

Captain Chuck Atwood, head of the Special Operations Division of the City of Sacramento, California, Fire Department has declared that Trident Technologies' ProMag rare-earth permanent magnet-powered leak and rupture sealing system would be a valuable equipment addition for that department's hazardous materials incidents. Trident is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:TFCT) In a letter dated September 26, 2003, addressed to John Dumble, sales manager at the company's Las Vegas headquarters, Chief Atwood stated:

"The Sacramento Fire Department has reviewed the Trident Technologies ProMag product and recognizes its unique capability. The ProMag would be a valuable asset for the Department's hazardous materials units to utilize during emergency response to hazardous materials incidents."

"We are building our case for the Department of Homeland Security," said Arland D. Dunn, President and CEO of 21st Century. "Chief Atwood's endorsement is not unique. Other fire departments have found ProMag to be a necessary part of their equipment roster. Recently, the Chicago's Fire Department urged that the funds be made available through the Department of Homeland Security to provide ProMags to the nation's 31,000 departments. Some departments, such as North Platte, Nebraska and Honolulu have found funding sources and purchased ProMags. We have made considerable progress in our effort, which will be rewarded. We seek $150 million to $180 million per year for a minimum of 5 years to fund the provision of ProMags to all the nation's fire departments The Company will benefit, of course; but, most importantly, the nation will benefit enormously when ProMag is part of every fire department's equipment roster."

Widespread availability of ProMag (and where appropriate, SeaPatch, its marine-engineered brother) will provide the country with effective defense against terrorist-cause leaks and ruptures of hazardous materials, including petroleum products. Railroads, such as the Union Pacific (NYSE:UPN) and CSX (NYSE:CSX) have made ProMags part of the equipment carried by their emergency response teams.
