Passerby Stops Field Fire After Baler Engulfs In Flames

Fire Safety Stick Stops Field Fire in Its Tracks

Three weeks ago, a need arose when a baler caught engulfed in flames, and presented a serious risk for an impending field fire. Thankfully, a passerby had just the tool for the job.

“I carry a 50s Fire (Safety) Stick in my rally car for emergency use, should this ever be needed.”

The driver had recently completed a series of repairs on his rally car and was carrying out a shakedown test drive.

The route included a long road section and a short off-road test along farm tracks.

A Baler Beyond Control

As he left the farm, he came across a straw baling machine fully alight; a bale had jammed in the machine and caught fire.

“The fire was far too big to tackle with any handheld extinguishers.”

The baler was beyond saving.

But a greater danger was already unfolding: flames were spreading across cut stubble toward an open field, creating a rapidly advancing field fire.

The field fire was also edging dangerously close to a nearby hedgerow.

Focusing on the New Threat: The Field Fire

The 50s Firestick was deployed at the hedgerow’s edge, extinguishing the advancing field fire before it could ignite the dry brush.

Then, the driver completed a full lap around the expanding stubble fire, containing the field fire’s spread entirely.

“This allowed the fire service to concentrate on the main fire and ignore the spreading field fire.”

Without this intervention, the hedgerow would have caught fire.

Although the fire service had a water bowser, most of it was used on the baler.

They would have had to refill before tackling the hedgerow if the field fire had ignited it.

Not the First Agricultural Save

This isn’t the first time the Fire Safety Stick has protected valuable farm machinery and stopped field fires before disaster struck.

Last year, it stopped a fire on a brand-new £650,000 combine harvester before it could destroy the machine and crops.

From rally cars to farm fields, the Fire Safety Stick repeatedly proves its worth, stopping small fires and advancing field fires before they become catastrophic.

 How the Fire Safety Stick Works: The Chemistry in Action

Unlike traditional extinguishers, the Fire Safety Stick uses a solid chemical reaction, not pressurised powder or foam.

When activated, it releases a powerful jet of potassium ions. These ions interrupt the fire’s combustion process at a molecular and flame level.

This stops the fire by starving it of oxygen without creating a corrosive mess or removing breathable oxygen for the user.

Because it uses chemical action, there are no pressurised canisters inside the Fire Safety Stick.

This means no annual servicing or refills are needed.

It also leaves no corrosive residue to clean up after use, unlike many traditional extinguishers.

This makes the Fire Safety Stick safer and simpler to use for anyone, regardless of age or training.

Its design allows quick action to tackle small fires and buy precious time for escape.
