The Case & What’s Inside
Minutes count! All FireHorse’s equipment is designed to give users quick access to life and property saving tools.
The Case
We’ve designed this ultra durable and easy to carry case so that it can be prominently displayed in the barn aisle, making for direct access for anyone in the event of an emergency.
• 100% MADE IN THE USA
• Lightweight, durable, & weather resistant
• 2 layers of custom cut foam to protect and secure all items
Handheld Extinguishers
Each kit includes two (2) easy to use, point & spray extinguishers for small fires, especially hay, shavings, or feed room flames. These sprays are certified and water based, so are not intended for electrical fires. An excellent alternative to more cumbersome, full-size extinguishers, these also require less maintenance and will be readily available in the case.
FireHorse Equine Blindfolds
Specially designed for our Rescue Kits and found nowhere else, these horse blindfolds wear like a fly mask and restrict the horse’s vision up to 80%. During fire panic, horses have been known to refuse to leave their stalls or to return to a burning structure seeking safety. These blindfolds are intended to reduce injury and panic by removing visual stimulation. They are also useful for trailering, for horses sensitive to needles, and to reduce panic or injury when waking up from anesthesia. Velcro closure, 5 per case.
Fire Gloves
During fires, the heat can melt or make unusable metal latches, door knobs, locks, and other necessary access points. Heat resistant to 1472 degrees and flame retardant, these gloves are made of a mix of breathable cotton knitting and double layered fiber with silicone for grip and additional fire resistance. One pair per kit.
2000 Lumens Flashlight
A powerful LED flashlight is necessary in the event of an emergency. Whether piercing smoke or darkness, this handheld light is easy to operate and lightweight. Constructed of high quality aluminum alloy ad reinforced for exceptional water resistance in inclement weather, this light will shine bring in all conditions. Powered by 4 AA batteries. One per kit.
Fire Blanket
Industry standard safety tool rarely found in barns! These blankets provide easy and safe fire suppression when water or water-based extinguishers aren’t an option. The fire retardant fabric chokes off the burn’s oxygen to smother flames. High quality woven fiberglass cloth is exceptionally durable and effective. One per kit.
Hay Thermometer
Stored bales have been known to catch fire spontaneously, especially in exceptionally humid conditions. The reasons are a combination of chemicals and exothermic reactions that use hay and oxygen as fuel. A hay thermometer is a great tool to monitor at risk bales. This thermometer is constructed of stainless steel, measures between 0-220 degrees, and provides a simple, effective way to check if bales are heating up. Any bales measuring over 175 degrees are at risk, with anything over 200 reason to call the fire department. One per kit.
Handheld Glass Breaker
Originally designed for use in cars, this handheld glass breaker features a built-in, high-pressure spring that is operated by a single finger pressing the button to shatter window glass quickly and easily. It also has a U-shaped, stainless steel knife edge, which is safe to touch but will easily cut through fabric. One per kit.
Rescue Rope
This 32 ft, 1/3 inch rope is composed of nylon rope skin and an inner core designed for durability and lower static elongation, meaning it won’t stretch or fray. Stainless steel thimbles are reinforced at each end with esay to use and secure snaps. This rope is perfect for creating a tie line to secure horses in the event of an evacuation, in addition to a multitude of other uses such as helping a horse that is cast in its stall or as a guideline for trailer loading. One per kit.
Smoke Masks
This smoke-proof mask is wetted in a special solution that protects from breathing in harmful gases. Designed for use in evacuating, the mask neutralizes harmful breathable chemicals and smoke via chemical bonding, eliminating hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid gas, formaldehyde, and ammonia. Place around lower head to cover the nose and mouth (or those of a child or animal) and form a seal between the wet filter fabric and skin. A highly elastic band prevents a gap from forming while breathing. Also useful for holding hot objects or heated door handles. One per kit.
