Pete Dowds
2024 Cambrian Rally, North Wales
"I used it at the Roger Albert Clark Rally in 2019 to save another car. It worked then. It worked again."
Transmission fluid hit a hot exhaust during the 2024 Cambrian Rally — instant engine bay fire. Pete deployed his Fire Safety Stick and it extinguished immediately. Remarkably, this was Pete's second time using FSS to save a rally car, having done the same at the 2019 Roger Albert Clark Rally. Spectacular action photos by Eimear Hyland.

"When re-ignition occurred, the long discharge time meant there was still enough agent to stop it a second time."
An idle fire in the passenger footwell of Finn's rare 1992 TVR Griffith 400 — ignited in Denmark, far from help. The FSS not only extinguished the initial fire but handled re-ignition too, thanks to its extended discharge time. The car was saved from total loss.

Caravan Gas Explosion Fire
"Traditional extinguishers couldn't reach behind the fridge. The FSS100 gas reached everywhere — cavity, pipework, all of it."
A gas explosion and fire broke out behind the fridge in Clive's caravan — a notoriously inaccessible cavity. Traditional extinguishers couldn't penetrate the space. Clive used the FSS100 — the aerosol gas diffused into every corner, extinguishing the fire throughout the cavity. He had purchased the unit just two weeks earlier at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC.
