WHAT IS A TELESCOPIC FOREST FIRE BEATER?

A forest fire beater is a tool used to fight wildfires, especially in their early stages. It consists of a rubber paddle attached to a long handle, usually made of aluminium, which is used to strike and smother the flames, depriving them of oxygen. It can also be used to turn over vegetation and create firebreaks.

The fire beater is a tool designed to put out fire by smothering (displacing the air), consisting of a metal handle or shaft ending in a paddle or beater made of self-extinguishing rubber. Fire beater with telescopic handle in duralumin, does not rust.

The handle is bonded perfectly to the beater or paddle by a vulcanisation process, making the fire beater a single fixed unit, with no need for rivets, screws or any other fastening elements.

HOW IS THE FIRE BEATER USED?

The fire beater is used with a direct attack technique on the flames, the aim being to smother the fire by removing the oxygen that feeds it. For correct use, strike firmly at the base of the flames, pressing the paddle against the seat of the fire for about 2 seconds. Then draw it back towards the area already burnt and repeat the movement in a rhythmic, controlled manner, progressively covering the fire line.

In every working environment and facility there should be emergency tools that can be used should it be necessary to put out a fire, especially in work activities where there is a risk of a fire starting because of the type of machinery or materials used. There are various fire protection devices on the market, and other equipment designed to tackle fire when needed, one of which is the FFB02 telescopic fire beater.

The FFB02 telescopic fire beater is a tool designed to put out fire using the smothering technique, that is, the displacement of air. This tool consists of a metal handle ending in a paddle or beater made of self-extinguishing rubber, which makes it a highly recommended item for any facility where work is carried out with substances or elements that may be flammable or may cause a fire.

The handle is bonded perfectly to the beater or paddle thanks to a vulcanisation process, making the FFB02 telescopic fire beater a single unit that needs no additional fastening elements such as screws or rivets.

This particular model, which features a rubber grip for much more comfortable handling by the user, has a beater measuring 250 mm wide x 500 mm high and 6 mm thick, with a total length of the complete unit when extended of approximately 1,950 mm.
