Smarter Fire Protection Without the Hassle
No pressure. No mess. No servicing.
Just simple, effective fire suppression where extinguishers don’t make sense.
The Fire Safety Stick is a compact, easy-to-use fire suppression device designed for modern risks—especially electrical fires and hard-to-reach areas.
At Compliance Standard Group, we recommend it where it genuinely adds value, not as a box-ticking exercise.
Suitable for many commercial premises including offices, schools, healthcare, workshops, commercial vehicles and managed buildings.
- No annual servicing
- 15+ year lifespan
- Lightweight & easy to use
- Low residue
Traditional fire extinguishers can cost far more than most businesses realise.
It’s not just the purchase cost.
Businesses also pay for:
- Annual servicing
- Engineer visits
- Five-year overhauls
- Ten-year replacements
- Administration
- Downtime
- Contractor management
The Fire Safety Stick offers a different approach that may reduce many of these ongoing costs, while still providing an effective first-response fire-fighting option where appropriate.
The Fire Safety Stick is a hand-held fire suppression device that works by interrupting the chemical reaction of a fire.
Instead of foam or powder, it releases a potassium-based aerosol that:
-
Knocks down flames fast
-
Is safe on live electrical equipment
-
Leaves no residue behind
Think control, not chaos
Which Fire Safety Stick is right for you?
The Fire Safety Stick is available in two sizes, both using the same extinguishing technology.
FSS50 provides approximately 50 seconds of continuous discharge and is ideal for many everyday commercial applications.
Including:
- Offices
- Vehicles
- Reception Areas
- Kitchens
- General Commercial Use
FSS100 provides approximately 100 seconds of discharge, offering extended firefighting time where a longer application may be advantageous.
Including:
- Larger Buildings
- Workshops
- Plant Areas
- Warehouses
- Higher Risk Locations
The choice depends on the environment, the fire risks identified by your fire risk assessment, and the level of protection required.

Fire Safety Stick and Compliance
The Fire Safety Stick should never be viewed as a blanket replacement for every fire extinguisher.
Suitable provision should always be determined by a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment, taking account of:
• Fire hazards
• Building layout
• Occupancy
• Means of escape
• Existing fire strategy
• Insurer requirements
Where appropriate, Fire Safety Sticks can complement or replace certain extinguishers as part of an overall fire safety strategy.
Our approach is simple
We don’t just sell safety kit—we make sure it makes sense.
We can:
- Review your fire risk
- Advise where Fire Safety Sticks are suitable
- Ensure they sit correctly alongside extinguishers
- Help docuemnt them properly
Practical advice. No scare tactics. No nonsense.

Dave’s Fire Safety Tips
One question I’m asked almost every week is whether a Fire Safety Stick can replace existing fire extinguishers.
The answer isn’t always yes—but it depends on your premises and your fire risk assessment. That’s why I always recommend getting advice before making changes.
