Fire sticks

[Strungup52]

Just looked to see if these are available in Canada - yes.
2 sizes - 50 sec discharge time @$109
- 100 sec discharge time @$159
They ain’t cheap but one in each combine, grain cart tractor, semi trucks and farm pickup might be $1000 well spent!

Morning yes
They are sold across the world and have had much success in the motor sports environment.
Let us know if you need help finding them overseas

To be honest I was pretty sceptical but seeing the numbers of vehicle fires after crashes I think one in the pickup and car might be a good idea, frankly who cares if a tractor or combine goes up they are insured but if someone is trapped in a crash they could save a life

I totally take your point.

It’s worth bearing in mind that if a tractor or combine goes up, takes the field with it and you can’t get another combine or contractor for another week or more…..just ready for when the rain starts then it can turn out pretty costly in time, hassle and money even if the insurance will pay.

The product has had some great success in the Rally world and has been picked up by World Rallying. Have a look at

and you can see how it works on engine fires. I agree if the field goes up then there is a bigger issue but if you can quickly eliminate the source of the fire then you've every chance to save damage and a wider incident.

Please let us know if you'd like more information

Looks impressive to me.
As anybody that has suffered a combine or tractor write off recently, even when insured there are major hassle factors. How do you find a replacement? How long for delivery? How much has price gone up? Anything that can help prevent that happening sounds like a sensible idea to me. Conventional larger fire extinguishers are also a pain in the neck as to where to store on tractor/ combine. The flexibility of storing a number of these in tractor or combine cab is a big plus factor .

@Firesafetystick can you tell us how they work?
How are they activated?
What’s the active ingredient and what is the chemical reaction, if any?
Thanks.

Thanks.

IF you want to see how they are activated there are quite a few videos on YT - this is one - but here are a couple that will lead you to others.

Nigel thanks for you input.

Speaking to someone today, they've suggested we look to offer some brackets standalone so that they can have brackets in different vehicles and then simply unclip and move the stick around. Would love to know if other think this could be a good idea - if so we will sort it and add to the shop

What are your thoughts as an insurance specialist on them?

@PSQ - HI and sorry for the delay response. We're delighted by the uptake here in the last few days.
You can see how they work from https://firesafetystick.com/how-to-use/ - it's as simple as taking the cap off and striking against the activation plate.
The precise details of the device are patented so if i was to tell you i'd have to make the screen self destruct but without getting too techie...

This process allows the stick to extinguish all types of fires through saturation, while its slow bio-degradation in the environment, further prevents the likelihood of subsequent fires.
The extinguishing process involves two different reactions: one is physical and the other, chemical. The physical reaction relates to potassium’s tendency to oxidise rapidly in air. When in contact with air, alkaline salts consume great quantities of oxygen, thus depriving fires of oxygen. Then the chemical reaction is created through the stable link between potassium particles and the fire’s combustion particles.
Through the two reactions, a quick oxidation process takes place, immediately transforming the jet from a solid state into a gaseous state freeing the potassium particles. These atoms are able to intercept and interrupt any other free particles produced by the fire’s natural chain reaction combustion process.
Potassium has strong inhibitor qualities due to its weak ionization energies. The extinguishing agent being used is composed of Potassium Nitrate, organic oxidizer, and plasticizer resin.
When Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) discharges from the extinguisher it vaporizes in the environment followed by the condensation of its extinguishing substance. When it reacts (inside the body of the extinguisher) it breaks down and the aerosol that is formed is made up primarily of free radicals of Potassium K+, of Nitrogen N (an inert gas), and water vapour.
The aerosol that comes out of the unit reacts with the fire. Potassium radicals (K+) capture the Oxygen of the combustion thereby extinguishing it.
At the end of the extinguishing process the following is discharged to the atmosphere:
As a solid: particles of Potassium (that have reacted with the Oxygen of the fire) having a size between 3-4 microns. These particles are invisible at sight and heavier than air. They disperse in the atmosphere and tend to deposit on the ground in no appreciable amounts.
As a gas: As Nitrogen; an inert gas already present in the air we breathe at more or less 78%.
As water vapour (and lastly) extremely minimal toxic by-products that are a result of the combustion process.

Hope that helps answer your question?

iI guess the fire stick was a LOT cheaper than the Millington diamond engine !

interesting that he chooses the fire stick over the 5kg conventional extinguisher he would have in there under MSA regs. and the stick succeeded where a fancy plumbed in system failed !

After having first hand experience of a tractor fire a couple of years ago before you realise what’s happening it’s too late, couldn’t believe how quick a tractor can burn unless it’s a very small fire or a smoulder best thing to do is grab any essentials, get out and call 999

 

[Bobthebuilder]

You wouldn’t think something made of metal would burn so quick

We are keen to promote them- and will do so. So much more flexible than conventional fire extinguishers. Hopefully we will have some examples on our show stand at our local Blakesley Show on Sat 6th August. Will be cheaper in long run than conventional extinguishers and no longer problems disposing of extinguishers that have been used or no longer working.

Thanks Nigel and we will make contact tomorrow. The response from the farming community and the marketplace has been amazing and we’d love to support you at the show.
We’re working on some case studies with users as the first one was used in anger today!
I would add we would never claim that they would replace all extinguishers but work with them in support and in getting into areas the extinguisher can’t reach.

So sad to see this especially given the challenge getting machinery this year!

 

[Firesafetystick]

Wow what a week it’s been. From a conversation over a bbq to a business into the farming communities. The last 5 days have been epic and tonight by little one is making boxes for my new business. I’ve been so delighted that the farming community have got behind fire safety stick. When I first saw it I was excited about how it would disrupt things and it has.
Tanks to you all

I hope not from what I hear we’d need 3 of em to put it out !!!!!
