FireAde 2000 is miles ahead of other firefighting products. It attacks a wide range of fires, renders flammable liquids inert and its cooling properties prevent re-ignition. FireAde 2000 uses its positive charge to attract and lock up the negative side of the hydrocarbon molecules that fuel flames. This creates a cocoon of separation within the molecules of gasoline or other flammable liquid. The process snuffs out the fire by making the liquid or other material incapable of burning.
