Additional recommendations for the Fire Safety Stick

Being studious doesn’t hurt, use these tips to be extra prepared:

Understand How It Works

The Fire Safety Stick emits a potassium-based aerosol that interrupts the chemical chain reaction of fire.

It doesn’t rely on pressure or physical force to extinguish flames, so it’s very lightweight and simple to use.

Additionally, it does not apply a cooling effect.

Therefore, it is important to keep pointing the aerosol jet at the fire to naturally bring the temperature down.

This is to mitigate the risk of re-ignition.

Dispose of It Safely After Use

Once the stick has finished emitting, it will cool down and can be safely discarded.

It’s non-toxic and non-pressurised, but handle the spent unit with care until fully cooled.

Separate the metal tube and plastic handle and sort into the appropriate recycling bins.

Bonus Tip: Watch Demonstrations & Videos

Though you can’t “test” the stick, watching online demos can help you feel more confident in an emergency.
