Cold Fire is an environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agent, leading the way in firefighting technology, and revolutionizing the way first responders combat fires. Cold Fire gets its name from its extraordinary ability to remove heat and hydrocarbon fuel source from the fire tetrahedron. The suppressants in Cold Fire use water as a catalyst to penetrate and extinguish the fire more rapidly, using less water and therapy reducing water damage and water supply needs.
Key Features:
Rapid Cooling: Cools 21 times faster than water.
Non-Toxic: Safe for people and the environment.
Versatile: Effective on Class A, B, D, K, and C fires.
Prevents Re-Ignition: Removes heat and fuel sources from the fire tetrahedron.
Reduces Hydrocarbon Smoke: Increases visibility during firefighting

Cold Fire Suppressant Vs Traditional Fire Extinguishers
Cold Fire suppression system vs traditional fire extinguishers
Fire suppression system like Cold Fire are designed for automatic fire control and are particularly effective in environments where water-based approaches might be ineffective or damaging. They utilize specialized agents such as CO2 , dry chemicals, wet chemicals, and clean agents tailored to combat specific fire types
Cold Fire A halon alternative
Cold Fire is a UL Listed Wetting Agent for Class A and B fire and is considered an acceptable alernative to halon under the EPA’s SNAP program. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and offers an unprecedented cooling effect, making it suitable for total-flooding and streaming applications
environmental consideration
Cold Fire is environmentally friendly and non toxic, posing no health risk to workers, crew members, or passengers. It has successfully completed extensive toxicity, corrosivity, and biodegradability testing.
Cold Fire suppression system vs traditional fire extinguishers
Effectiveness
Cold Fire works by removing the heat from the fire triangle and immediately bringing the fire below its flash point. It also encapsulates the fuel source, preventing the possibility of reignition.
Comparison with AFFF
Cold Fire® is advantageous compared to AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) because if the foam blanket of AFFF is disrupted, the vapor of the fuel underneath can easily re-ignite. Cold Fire®, on the other hand, prevents re-ignition even if the foam blanket is disturbed.
Manual vs. Automated Response
Traditional fire extinguishers require manual operation and are practical for smaller fires. In contrast, fire suppression systems like Cold Fire offer a quick, automated response, making them suitable for larger or high-hazard settings.
Color Coding
Cold Fire suppressant does not follow the traditional color-coding system as it is specialized agent. It is typically clear in composition and is often stored in containers that may not have the color-coding associated with traditional fire extinguishers. The packaging or labeling of Cold Fire products may include information about its applications and certifications, but not necessarily a color code for fire class identification. The color-coding system for traditional fire extinguishers is standardized to allow quick and correct identification in case of a fire, which is crucial for safety. Cold Fire, being a more universal agent, does not adhere to this system and is identified by its clear appearance and labeling rather than a color code.
