Fire Safety Stick has transformed the fire extinguisher market. It is a simple and easy way to ensure that you are prepared in the event of a fire in your home, vehicle, caravan or boat. This unique product was originally developed to extinguish fires in spacecraft! It is certified to extinguish early fires of A (solid combustibles e.g. plastics, wood, textiles), B (flammable liquids e.g. petrol, diesel), C (flammable gases e.g. propane, butane, methane), electrical fire (up to 100,000 volts) and F (cooking oils, deep fat fryers).
Made in Italy, the Fire Safety Stick is lightweight and easy to us. It weighs far less than a conventional fire extinguisher, just 215g, and can operate for much longer. Best of all, if you do have to use it, there is no residue or mess left behind. It is environmentally friendly and can be safely stored for easy access in an emergency. Fire Safety Stick will help you to contain a fire, preventing it from becoming a threat to life or property. Just strike the activator and point the nozzle at the base of the flames to smother the fire at its core (see How To Use Fire Safety Stick below for further details). For enclosed fires (for example within a caravan) you can activate the Fire Safety Stick, and leave it inside to repress the fire, as you escape to safety. It is also one of the very few extinguishers that can safely extinguish chimney fires. Unlike other fire extinguishers it needs no servicing or refilling and has a proven expiry date of 15 years, and because it is not a pressurised contained there is no danger or it exploding or malfunctioning.
They are available in two sizes. The 50 second discharges for 50 seconds and the 100 second discharges for 100 seconds. Most of our sales are of the 50 second version, but some people prefer the larger 100 second version. Use the dropdown menu above to make your selection.
Your Fire Safety Stick should be stored somewhere that is easily accessible. A mounting clip is included free of charge. Additional mounting clips can also be purchased using the dropdown menus above, and we also offer a range of brackets designed for motorsport and road cars (see below for details).
Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher... probably one downstairs, one upstairs and one in the garage. Every car should have one; whether it's used for motorsport, a classic car or your daily driver; and of course every caravan, motorhome and boat!

How to Use Fire Safety Stick
How to activate:
- Hold the unit by the black plastic handle and remove the top cap or sleeve which protects the black resin at the top of the unit.
- Remove the striker cap from the bottom of the unit (this will be either black or yellow plastic caps), on the inside, there is a red/brown rough surface.
- Still holding the plastic handle, point the stick away from your head and body. In your other hand, hold the striker cap so that the red/brown rough area is resting on top of the black resin on the top of the stick. Apply increased pressure between the resin and the striker cap, Then swiftly, move the striker away from the body, holding the stick firmly, ensuring the striker maintains contact with the resin. This is very much like striking a match against a matchbox. This friction should be enough to activate the black resin is initially sparking like a match. Just like a match if it's not activated on the first strike, then just repeat the above process of striking the resin.
- Discharge of the harmless agent will begin immediately. Then simply point the stick towards the base of the fire and its flames. The agent being discharged is completely harmless. There may be some sparks from the top opening of the stick but these are only a few centimetres in size and also harmless. Also, it may spray out a very small amount of black soot from the Fire Safety Stick, but again this is totally harmless and can be can be swept up afterwards.
How to use it on a fire:
- Once activated, simply point the top of the stick towards the fire, allowing the aerosol vapour to engulf the flames. It will continue to discharge for its complete cycle (of 50 or 100 seconds) - it is not possible to "switch it off".
- If it is outside with a wind blowing, and it is safe to do so, always approach the fire from the side of the wind - i.e. so that the flames are flowing away from you.
- Best practice is to activate the stick from a safe distance away from the fire, then once activated, approach the fire, pointing the stick towards the flames and base of the fire. Then simply walk towards the fire. All the time it is suppressing the fire, making it safe to approach the fire. Although it runs on a lower pressure than traditional extinguishers, it is still much safer as you have a much longer discharge time, and all the time it further suppresses the fire.
- There is no need to wave the stick around too much, just allow the vapour from the stick to engulf the flames and they will quickly die down. If you have missed a bit simply move the stick towards those flames to extinguish them.
- We always recommend, even if the fire is quickly extinguished, to continue pointing the stick towards the area where the fire was, for the complete discharge time of over 50 or 100 seconds. This ensures it is unlikely to reignite (in particular with cooking oil fires). Often, there may be a small part of the fire still alight that you may have missed, so this ensures you are ready to extinguish it completely.
- Once it's extinguished, assess the situation and call out the fire brigade if necessary.
- Again, please remember if the fire is too large to be extinguished by the Fire Safety Stick, then follow the fire brigade's advice to get out and call the fire brigade.
- Although the vapour from the Fire Safety Stick is completely harmless, do remember that the smoke and fumes from a burning fire can be very dangerous. Do not risk your own safety at all.
- You can leave the activated Fire Safety Stick inside a confined space to continue to repress the fire whilst you are escaping to safety. Just leave inside the room spraying towards the fire, you leave, remembering to close the door if possible as you leave.
- The metal body of the Fire Safety Stick can get warm during the process, please ensure you only hold the unit by the black plastic handle. Afterwards, once cooled down, it can be easily disposed of domestically, or by separating the plastic handle from the aluminium tube of the body.
Remember the Fire Safety Stick, like all extinguishers, is only to extinguish small fires that have only just started, or to aid your escape. Once a fire is well established or too large to fight, then that is no longer a job for a handheld extinguisher. You should then follow the fire brigade's advice of getting out, staying out, call the fire brigade and leave it to the professionals.

Technical Specification
How Does the Fire Safety Stick Work?
The Fire Safety Stick (FSS) is a manual, portable fire extinguishing device. It uses a potassium ion jet (a unique method among conventional fire extinguishers) that works by interrupting a fire's chain of reaction (the "auto-catalyst" of the fire). Fire Safety Stick is composed of stable, solid minerals; it does not contain gas and is not pressurised. The aerosol-like jet is only produced when the charger is struck with its base. The produced aerosol jet is free of thrust and is essentially an inert salt that emits gas already present in the atmosphere.
Here's the Chemistry Behind It
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 ions (or free radicals) 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 the potassium nitrate (KNO3) 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). 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: extremely minimal toxic by-products that are a result of the combustion process. (This amount is so slight, it is not conductive to electricity).
What's the Best Way to Tackle a Fire With It?
Unlike a dry chemical extinguisher that combats a blaze by depositing a large amount of solid powder on the fire, the Fire Safety Stick fights a fire by releasing a gas. This gas attaches itself to the oxygen surrounding the fire robbing its ability to stick to the chain of combustion (without affecting ones ability to breath that oxygen). The goal is therefore to use the gas coming out of the Fire Safety Stick to create a 'cloud of containment' around a fire. Creating a cloud that prevents any outside and un-attached oxygen from getting to the fire is essential and is the same strategy that should also be used with a halon/halotron or CO2 extinguisher.
The two worst things you can do when fighting a fire with a gas extinguisher is to be too close or to rush the process. Being very close to a fire means that a cloud cannot be formed blocking any new oxygen that will continue to feed the flame. This is particularly problematic in an isolated pan situation where being too close will only chase the flames around. Rushing the process by moving the extinguisher around a lot also prevents a cloud from being formed and diminishes the performance of the extinguisher. The best technique is to take advantage of the long discharge time offered by the Fire Safety Stick and to approach a fire from a moderate distance progressively getting closer to its source. During the approach, move the Fire Safety Stick slowly around the fire always directing towards the centre. This will contain the fire and allow the gas the ability to work. Tight areas with lots of pockets (like the engine bay of a car for example) brings out the strengths of the Fire Safety Stick as the gas, which is heavier than air, will fill all the voids not directly accessible; both putting out a fire and preventing a re-flash.
