Can a FireAde Extinguisher extinguish pyrotechnic road flares?
Answer – FireAde 2000 Extinguisher Yes – FireAde 2000 fire extinguishers will extinguish pyrotechnic flares. Road flares and rescue pyrotechnics, used by Police Officers, Marine Industry, D.O.T. and other agencies, are extremely difficult to extinguish. Current tests show that these flares burn well over 980 Degrees F. and within 2 seconds after FireAde 2000 has extinguished the flare, the temperature will be measured below 90 Degrees F. This is remarkable since most flares are so hot and supply their own oxygen, they will continue to burn under water. Answer – Dry Powder Extinguisher Sometimes – Dry Powder Chemical will knock down the flame on a pyrotechnic flare but will not cool the container. Temperatures remain very high and re-ignition usually occurs within seconds.
