WATCH: The ground-breaking solutions that extinguish electrical fires at source

Faulty washing machines, tumble dryers and fridge-freezers are causing more than 60 fires every week in the UK, a Which? investigation published in February revealed.

And the threat of fires in electrical control cabinets poses a huge risk to people and property in commercial environments.

Helios Systems Ltd exhibited at FIREX 2018 to test market reaction to two innovations it believes are much more cost-effective than other solutions on the market – especially given that they extinguish fires at source.

Helios also demonstrated a camera and moving cannon working in concert to attack a false fire.

In the video below FIREX TV spoke to Garry Adey, managing director of Helios Systems Ltd, about the eBulb, which can be fitted to white goods as well as TVs and other appliances, AMFE suppression and detection for electrical control cabinets, and the  PYROsmart and the Rosenbauer system.

We also spoke to Adey in the run-up to FIREX 2018 about the products and the company’s business model.
