  • Fighting Fire With Foam: Nationwide and EnforcerOne Join Forces to Protect Agriculture Customers

    Fighting Fire With Foam: Nationwide and EnforcerOne Join Forces to Protect Agriculture Customers

    [ad_1]

    New partnership provides customers with discounted access to EnforcerOne’s industry-leading fire suppression systems

    With an estimated 20,000 agricultural fires each year, the need for fire safety awareness and planning has never been greater. Nationwide, the country’s leading protector of farms and ranches, is helping its agriculture customers take a proactive approach to fire defense through a new partnership with EnforcerOne that will provide discounts on its industry-leading Enforcer® fire suppression systems and FIREBULL® firefighting concentrate.

    Established in 2011, with more than 30 years of firefighting experience, EnforcerOne provides next-level firefighting solutions for emergency scenarios in industries ranging from agriculture to motorsports. The company’s highly portable Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS) can quickly and efficiently extinguish fires with minimal water and utilizes GreenScreen Certified™ non-hazardous, non-toxic, fluorine- and PFAS-free FIREBULL firefighting foam. 

    Nationwide’s agriculture insurance customers can now receive a 20% discount on the following EnforcerOne and FIREBULL products: 

    • FIREBULL Easy One-Touch Fire Extinguisher 23.8 oz – a 1:B rated personal fire extinguisher designed for easy application and extinguishment of fire outdoors and around the house using a signature firefighting foam. 
    • FIREBULL AB – UL Classified firefighting concentrate for use in Enforcer systems and other brand firefighting equipment to suppress Class A fires (brush, wood, hay, etc.) as well as Class B fires (flammable liquids and fuels). Also available in a freeze-protected premix to -40C.
    • Enforcer AIR 3 – an extremely versatile and portable, three-gallon firefighting system that utilizes high-energy compressed foam technology with a dedicated refillable air tank. 
    • Enforcer 10 – a versatile but heavy-duty 10-gallon portable firefighting system that utilizes high-energy compressed air foam technology to produce 200 gallons of finished firefighting foam. UL 711 20: B certified. 

    The power of EnforcerOne’s fire suppression systems is evident in a recent case involving a Montana farmer. Wes Simpson recounts, “My father was out in the fields baling hay when a fire broke out behind him and quickly spread to the baler. He remained calm and immediately put his Enforcer 10 in service to extinguish the baler fire and create a safe zone to evacuate the equipment. He’d never operated the CAFS device before; I’d just explained it to him once. Without EnforcerOne, we could have had a devastating outcome.” 

    “Fires continue to be a leading cause of dangerous and costly accidents on farms, but they can often be prevented with simple and affordable measures,” said Brad Liggett, president of Agribusiness at Nationwide. “Our partnership with EnforcerOne further strengthens Nationwide’s commitment to safety and prevention for our customers, adding these state-of-the-art fire suppression devices to our array of tools and resources they can leverage to safeguard their operations, equipment and livelihoods.” 

    This partnership adds to Nationwide’s suite of fire prevention solutions and resources available to agriculture customers and agents, which includes HAYTECH hay bale monitors, PrevTech electrical monitoring systems, and Teledyne FLIR thermal imaging cameras.

    “EnforcerOne is proud to partner with Nationwide to protect lives, livestock, and property by reducing accidental and costly agriculture fires. Equipment fires lead to expensive repairs and production downtime, while crop fires impact customers’ ability to produce and deliver during the most important time of the year,” said Ron Thames, president of EnforcerOne and developer of Enforcer CAFS and FIREBULL Fluorine Free products. “EnforcerOne has a years-long history of providing unique fire suppression offerings for fire departments but this partnership places easy-to-use firefighting equipment directly in the hands of customers to quickly extinguish fires in their incipient stage, which minimizes fire department responses to agriculture fires and allows agriculture customers to get back to work safely and quickly.”

  • FIREBULL(R) AB Receives Listing as GreenScreen Certified(TM) Silver Firefighting Product

    FIREBULL(R) AB Receives Listing as GreenScreen Certified(TM) Silver Firefighting Product

    [ad_1]

    Enforcer One, LLC, manufacturer of Enforcer® Compressed Air Foam Systems and FIREBULL® Fluorine Free Products in Peachtree City, Georgia, announces NEW FIREBULL AB as a GreenScreen Certified™ Silver Firefighting Product. FIREBULL products are 100% fluorine free. Clean Production Action through their rigorous GreenScreen Certified™ standard certifies products as fluorine free* and prohibits thousands of other chemicals of concern for human and environmental health. The certification demonstrates Enforcer One’s commitment to developing environmentally safer firefighting products while matching the fire performance standards of traditional Class A and B foams that fire departments are moving away from due to the potential to introduce PFAS into the environment.

    Enforcer One sought to produce alternatives to AFFF without relying on constituents that have more immediate toxic and caustic impact than fluorinated foams. The GreenScreen Certified™ Firefighting Foam Standard requires total organic fluorine of the product as sold to be less than 1 part per million as demonstrated by analytical testing, in addition to meeting testing requirements for aquatic toxicity of alga, aquatic invertebrates, and fish. The standard also includes an evaluation of each chemical present in raw materials above stringent thresholds against a comprehensive restricted substances lists and GreenScreen® hazard assessment and/or screening tools.

    FIREBULL® AB joins the catalogue of UL listed FIREBULL 3% SFFF and UL Listed FIREBULL 6% SFFF, which were introduced in 2019 as fluorine free Class B foams for large volume flammable liquid fires. FIREBULL AB is a new Class A and Class B wetting agent which fills the gap for fire departments struggling with high viscosity fluorine free foams for daily use in standard equipment. FIREBULL AB is rated at 0.25% for Class A fires and as low as 0.25% to 3% for Class B fire extinguishment, a first for a GreenScreen Certified™ Silver Firefighting Product. This low application rate for Class B foams encourages departments to use less product to extinguish Class B fires than other products allow, while maximizing water performance and minimizing water usage and time on scene. FIREBULL AB viscosity is equal to 20 cps, which makes this product more compatible with onboard systems, eductors, and standard firefighting equipment than thicker fluorine free products. FIREBULL AB has a Ph of 7.1, indicating no corrosive properties. For these qualities, plus an unlimited shelf-life when stored in its original container, FIREBULL AB is Enforcer One’s challenge to its biggest competitor FireAde®, which is rated at 0.5% for Class B extinguishment and 0.25% for Class A extinguishment. 

    Enforcer One, LLC is also the manufacturer of Enforcer® Compressed Air Foam Systems, which maximizes FIREBULL AB performance in a small, portable CAFS system with minimal working parts. Fire Departments worldwide are enjoying the accessibility that Enforcer CAF Systems provide for rapid fire suppression with limited water access. Enforcer CAFS maximize water performance while minimizing water consumption with the addition of FIREBULL AB for up to 20:1 foam expansion in firefighting operations.

    GreenScreen Certified™ is a registered trademark of Clean Production Action.

    *”Fluorine free” means the product has zero intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and PFAS contamination in the product is less than (1 part per million) total organic fluorine as measured by combustion ion chromatography.
