Because of the uniqueness of the gel, it will adhere to the target to the targeted surface when deployed and will not blow or burn away like traditional fire extinguisher powders. In addition, it’s suitable for use on electrical fires…from the moment we saw FireIce in action, we were eager to find ways to adapt it to our utility environment…FireIce greatly increases employee safety when a fire breaks out, while helping PECO keep our commitments to our customers and the environment.

FireIce helps extinguish flames quickly and dramatically cools burning equipment much more effectively than water alone. This speeds up putting out fires and reduces the risk of hot equipment reigniting…The use of [FireIce] will minimize smoke and other combustion by-products released, limit the potential exposure for firefighters, company employees, and the public, and reduce collateral damage to the electrical system.
