How One Fire Extinguisher Company Is Changing the Fate of Farmers Across America

When fire breaks out in the middle of harvest, there’s no time to second-guess. No time to wait for the local fire crew. No time to think, “I should’ve been ready.”

For farmers, fire is one of the most devastating and fast-moving threats to life, equipment, and income. And since 2010, a growing number of producers have been turning to one small but powerful tool to stop fire before it spreads: STOP‑FYRE® by AKE Safety Equipment.

And the results?

Thousands of fires stopped.
Billions of dollars in losses prevented.
And actual lives saved.

Every unit above has already proven itself in the heat of battle—saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment, protecting livelihoods, and even preserving lives.

“If I hadn’t had STOP-FYRE®, I’d have lost the combine.”

A farmer in Ethan, South Dakota, recently told us about the day his combine caught fire in the middle of harvest.

He was 4½ miles from town—no fire department in sight—when smoke started pouring from the machine. The fire was growing fast, and every second meant thousands of dollars of equipment at risk.

But he had a STOP-FYRE® unit on board.

He grabbed it, gave a quick spray, and the flames were gone before they could do more damage. No water trucks. No chemical mess. Just back to work.

“If I hadn’t had STOP-FYRE®, I’d have lost the combine,” he said.

He’s one of many farmers across the country turning near disaster into just another day in the field—because they’re ready when fire strikes.

A Better Way to Fight Fire

STOP‑FYRE® isn’t your average fire extinguisher.

While traditional dry chemical extinguishers are messy, corrosive, and only good for one use, STOP‑FYRE® uses a proprietary clean agent gas that:

• Leaves no residue
• Doesn’t harm wiring, paint, or engines
• Works on every class of fire
• Can be used multiple times
• Requires no service or maintenance—ever

It’s compact enough to mount inside a cab, a shop wall, or next to a grain dryer, and it’s so intuitive that a four-year-old could use it in an emergency. Just point and spray.

“We had cornstalks and oil at the bottom of our skid loader start on fire when burning a brush pile. A couple of squirts put it right out. I couldn’t believe we saved it.”

What’s a Fire Going to Cost You?

Most farmers reading this have either had a fire…or will. Farmers are 10 times more likely to have a fire.

We’ve seen:

• Combine fires threaten $600,000 machines
• Tractors burn from hydraulic fluid leaks and hot turbos
• Battery fires in pickups in the middle of cornfields
• Shop fires seconds from reaching bulk oil storage
• Livestock operations nearly lost to barn blazes

Every one of these fires was stopped cold with STOP‑FYRE® before disaster took hold.

“Your fire extinguisher performed flawlessly when our tractor caught fire in the middle of the field.”

Two Fires. No Losses.

Jeremy Yoder from Mid River Farms has used STOP‑FYRE® twice to put out fires. 

“It saved the day,” he says.

He’s since outfitted every piece of major equipment with STOP‑FYRE® units, along with mounting them in his shop, garage, and truck.

Built for Farmers. Backed for Life.

STOP‑FYRE® is built specifically for high-risk, high-investment environments like agriculture. And it comes with something rare in fire equipment: a Lifetime No‑Hassle Guarantee™.

That’s because when we say it works, we mean it.

In fact, over the past 15 years, we estimate that STOP‑FYRE® has already helped farmers save billions of dollars in:

• Prevented equipment loss
• Avoided downtime
• Protected property
• Preserved livestock
• And most importantly… protected lives

No Maintenance. No Worries.

Every farmer knows the drill with most fire extinguishers:
Check the gauge every month. Get them serviced every year. Replace them after one use. Hope they work when you need them.

It’s a hassle — and in the middle of planting or harvest season, it’s one more thing to keep track of when your to-do list is already a mile long.

Here’s what’s not common knowledge…if you skip that fire extinguisher maintenance, there’s a good chance that it won’t work at all when you need it most.

STOP-FYRE® eliminates that risk entirely.

No monthly checks.
No annual service calls.
No expiration date.
No recharging after use.

That means you can mount it in your cab, your shop, or your truck and know that when you grab it, it’s ready to go. Whether it’s been there six months or six years, it works exactly as it should — every time.

For farmers, that’s more than convenience. It’s peace of mind.

Because the last thing you need during a fire is to realize you forgot to do your annual fire extinguisher service and it’s empty, expired, or clogged.

With STOP-FYRE®, you skip the paperwork, the inspections, and the maintenance costs — and go straight to protection that’s always on call.

“In the last two years we've had numerous severe fires. STOP-FYRE has never let us down.”
— Monroe Y., Wisconsin

Fires Happen. Be Ready.

No one plans for a fire. They just hope they never have one.

But when your livelihood is one ignition away from destruction, hope isn’t enough. Being ready is.

That’s what STOP‑FYRE® does. It’s peace of mind in your cab. On your wall. In your truck.

And when you need it most, it’s there—no delay, no mess, no problem.

Thousands of fires stopped.
Billions saved.
Lives protected.

That’s STOP‑FYRE®.
