In a compelling real-life example of how the Fire Safety Stick can make a life-saving difference, Bailey Routh found himself in the right place at the right time. Thanks to his quick thinking—and the fact that he happened to have a Fire Safety Stick in his car—he was able to stop a potentially devastating kitchen fire before it could spread. His actions not only prevented serious property damage but also saved the lives of two pets trapped inside the home.
While visiting a friend in Lancashire, Bailey and his friend noticed the smell of smoke and burning coming from the kitchen. Upon entering the room, they discovered a fire had broken out. Flames were spreading rapidly across the countertop, and nearby appliances such as a toaster and coffee machine had already begun to melt due to the intense heat. Although the exact cause of the fire has not been confirmed, it is believed to have been the result of an electrical fault.
Despite how quickly the fire was growing, the kitchen was still safe enough to enter. Realising the urgency of the situation, Bailey acted fast. He ran to his car to grab the Fire Safety Stick—a compact, easy-to-use fire extinguisher. Within seconds of activating it, the device released a non-toxic suppressant that smothered the flames and halted the fire’s advance. The fire was fully extinguished before the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service arrived on the scene.
What makes Bailey’s actions even more remarkable is that two pets were inside the property at the time. The fire and smoke posed an immediate threat to their lives. Thanks to Bailey’s quick response and the effectiveness of the Fire Safety Stick, both animals were rescued unharmed.
When emergency services arrived, they were surprised and relieved to find that the fire had already been put out. After inspecting the scene, they praised the Fire Safety Stick, commenting on how such a small and simple device had prevented what could have turned into a major incident.
This story is a strong reminder of the importance of being prepared for emergencies. The Fire Safety Stick is lightweight, portable, and doesn’t leave a mess like traditional extinguishers. It’s ideal for homes, vehicles, travel, and even outdoor activities. Having a fire suppression device easily accessible—especially in high-risk areas like the kitchen—can make all the difference in an emergency. It’s equally important that everyone in the household knows how to use it and is familiar with basic fire safety procedures.
Bailey’s experience highlights how having the right tool on hand, and knowing how to use it, can prevent disaster and save lives—sometimes in a matter of seconds.

*Never put yourself or others at risk, especially when entering a building when a fire is present. All handheld fire extinguishers (including the Fire Safety Stick) are only intended to aid escape or to tackle small fires at the very early stages. You should always be aware of the potentially toxic smoke from the item/s that is on fire, especially in a confined space.
More about the Fire Safety Stick!
🪶 Compact and Lightweight
Traditional fire extinguishers can be heavy, hard to handle, and awkward to store. The Fire Safety Stick, on the other hand, weighs less than a bottle of water (only 215g) and fits easily anywhere. It’s so portable that you can take it put it in a toolbox, tractor cab or keep it in your car for emergencies.
🔥 Multiple Fire Classes
Most traditional fire extinguishers can’t cover all major classes of fire and require to be paired with other means of fire fighting equipment to cover all bases. Whereas the Fire Safety Stick is certified for fire classes A – combustible materials (wood, paper, plastic, textiles etc), B – flammable liquids (petrol, diesel, alcohol etc.), C – flammable gases (propane, butane etc.), Electrical fires up to 100,000v (white goods, wiring, charging cables etc.) and F – cooking oils and fats.
Note: The Fire Safety Stick is not recommended for coal/charcoal fires and lithium battery fires.
⏳ Long-Lasting Firefighting Power
One of the standout features of the Fire Safety Stick is its runtime. A standard fire extinguisher might give you 10-15 seconds of use (a 1kg dry powder is 6-7 seconds), while the Fire Safety Stick can provide up to 50 or 100 seconds of extinguishing power. That’s a significant advantage when dealing with a stubborn fire.
🧹 No Cleanup Required
Ever seen the aftermath of a traditional fire extinguisher? Foam or powder everywhere ruining furniture, electronics, and anything else in its path. The Fire Safety Stick’s aerosol technology doesn’t leave a corrosive trace. This means you can extinguish a fire in your kitchen or near electronics without worrying about causing additional damage.
⚒️ No Annual Servicing
For a pressurised cylinder extinguisher to be reliable, and have the least risk of performance loss, it must be professionally serviced every year. The Fire Safety Stick does NOT need any professional servicing, as it is not pressurised with no moving parts. Just a simple maintenance spot check is involved such as checking under the top cap and checking the striker cap.
🌳 Safe and Eco-Friendly
The aerosol released by the Fire Safety Stick is non-toxic and doesn’t harm the environment. It’s also safe to breathe in, unlike the harsh chemicals in some traditional extinguishers. Plus, it has an impressive shelf life—minimum of 15 years! Compare that to a standard fire extinguisher, which should also be regularly serviced and refilled to maintain optimum working operation.
😌 Easy to Use
Forget the pins and levers. Using the Fire Safety Stick is as simple as removing the cap, striking the ignition like a match, and pointing it at the fire.
