The passion you pour into your classic car deserves ultimate protection. Unlike modern vehicles, classic cars come with inherent fire risks: ageing wiring, leaky fuel lines, and high-heat engine components. For an enthusiast, fire is devastating, but the secondary damage from messy powder extinguishers is often worse than the fire itself.

The Fire Safety Stick is the revolutionary, certified, zero-residue fire extinguisher for classic cars, designed to protect your investment—from chrome and paint to rare leather interiors—with zero cleanup required.

The Hidden Threat: Why Classic Cars Are Fire Magnets 

The most common causes of fires in collectable and vintage vehicles are directly related to age and component wear.

Top 3 Fire Hazards in Vintage Motors 

  • Aged Electrical Systems: Brittle, non-fused wiring and exposed battery terminals are primary sources of shorts, often starting fires inside the cabin or dash.

  • Fuel Leaks: Old rubber hoses, carburettor backfires, and perished gaskets allow flammable fluids to spray onto hot engine parts.

  • Engine Bay Heat: Extreme temperatures in the engine bay mixed with oil and dust create an ideal ignition environment.

The Problem with Traditional Extinguishers 

For a classic car owner, choosing the wrong extinguisher is a catastrophic mistake that destroys the vehicle’s value, even if the flames are stopped.

Powder is Corrosion: The Value Killer 

Standard dry powder extinguishers release corrosive chemicals. When used, this powder instantly infiltrates every gap, damaging electronics, chrome plating, rubber seals, and paintwork. The resulting cleanup costs and depreciation often exceed the cost of the original fire damage.

Halon and Gas: The Health Risk

While clean, Halon and CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen. This is extremely dangerous in the small, enclosed cabin of a vehicle, posing a major risk of suffocation to the driver and passengers.

The Fire Safety Stick: Protecting Value, Not Just Lives

The Fire Safety Stick is the ideal residue-free fire extinguisher for classic cars because it focuses on preserving the vehicle’s integrity while stopping the fire fast.

What is the most dangerous type of fire in an old car? 

The most dangerous type is often an electrical fire in the engine bay or dashboard. These fires are highly destructive and spread quickly, making immediate intervention with a clean, effective fire extinguisher for classic cars vital.

Quick Classic Car Fire Safety FAQ 

Is a fire extinguisher mandatory in classic cars in the UK? 

No, a fire extinguisher is not legally mandatory for private vehicles in the UK. However, due to the high risk and financial value of classic motors, most insurance providers and enthusiast clubs strongly recommend carrying a multi-class, residue-free fire suppression device.

Do I need to inform my insurance provider about the Fire Safety Stick?

While not always required, we recommend checking with your classic car insurance provider. Many specialist insurers offer reduced premiums or specific discounts for certified fire suppression systems that minimise the risk of costly secondary damage caused by corrosive fire suppression agents.

Where is the best place to mount an extinguisher in a classic car? 

The extinguisher must be easily accessible to the driver. Ideal mounting points for the Fire Safety Stick include the driver’s side footwell, the transmission tunnel, or under the driver’s seat, using a secure, quick-release bracket. For high-end vehicles like a classic Ferrari, the compact size allows for discreet storage inside the glove box for immediate access.
