"Foolproof" Automatic Fire Extinguisher SECURITY/SAFETY Miscellaneous 23-1-27 A British-built "foolproof" fire extinguisher designed for combines and other farm equipment that FARM SHOW featured a couple years ago is now available in North America (Vol. 20, No. 4).
The automatic fire extinguisher consists of a tank connected to a flexible poly tube which you simply lay out around and above the combine engine. If a fire starts, it'll soften the tube and pressure from the extinguisher will blow a hole in the tubing. Because of the design, the hole will be automatically directed at the fire and will put it out.
The system has proven so popular, there are some 13,000 installed in equipment all over the world, according to Firetrace Systems International, North American distributor.
A 5-lb. tank with 9 to 10 ft. of tubing sells for $275 (Canadian).
