Discover FIRE OUT: Taiwan's Innovative Firefighting Spray

In a groundbreaking move for fire safety in Japan, the FIRE OUT aerosol fire extinguisher spray is set to launch on January 19, 2025, with an exciting TV infomercial rolling out on June 15. Manufactured by the Tokyo-based company, Makan, FIRE OUT is a product that has been certified by SGS, the world’s largest certification company, ensuring reliable fire-extinguishing capabilities.

What is FIRE OUT?

FIRE OUT is Japan's first fire extinguisher spray that has passed all five fire extinguishing performance tests issued by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. This versatile spray is effective against various types of initial fires, including:
1. Small ordinary fires
2. Frying oil fires
3. Stove fires
4. Car upholstery fires
5. Electrical fires

Since its introduction in Taiwan in 2019, FIRE OUT has seen remarkable success, selling over 120,000 units and capturing an impressive 80% market share in the domestic market. Its unique extinguishing agent and filling technology allow it to deliver the same level of fire-fighting ability as traditional extinguishers, yet with the ease of use typical of insect sprays or hair sprays.

Easy to Use and Store

Designed to withstand high temperatures up to 90°C, FIRE OUT is perfectly suited for storage in vehicles. The spray has an impressive discharge time of about 20 seconds and can extinguish flames from a distance of 2 meters. It is particularly useful for addressing common household fire risks, such as those caused by carelessly discarded cigarettes or kitchen appliances.

Weighing in at only 535 grams (with 400 grams of extinguishing agent), FIRE OUT is lightweight and compact. The operation is as simple as removing the cap and pressing the nozzle towards the flames, making it easy for anyone, including elderly individuals, children, and those with limited physical strength, to handle.

This spray has become a popular choice as a gift for elderly parents living alone, enabling even young children to assist in initial fire extinguishing efforts.

Hassle-Free Cleanup

Unlike traditional powder-based extinguishers that require extensive cleaning, FIRE OUT uses a water-soluble extinguishing agent that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. This means that after extinguishing a fire, you can simply wipe the area clean, returning to your daily routine in no time. It is recommended not just for households but also as a fire prevention tool in environments with high fire risks, such as manufacturing sites and restaurants, without interrupting operations.

The Importance of Fire Safety

Statistics reveal a stark reality: over 73% of fire-related deaths involve individuals aged 65 and older, as reported in the 2023 Fire Department White Paper. While about 40% of households own a fire extinguisher, many face challenges in disposal, leading to approximately 25% of these extinguishers being unusable. FIRE OUT offers a solution as it can be disposed of as regular aerosol waste.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, using fire extinguishing equipment can significantly reduce damage in over 70% of cases. To better inform the elderly audience, the upcoming TV infomercial will not only raise awareness but also emphasize the need for personal fire safety measures, including installed smoke alarms in homes and the capability for personal initial fire extinguishing.

With an included wall-mount holder, FIRE OUT can be easily stored in various locations, making it an accessible fire safety tool for all.
